Type: Missing bridge overpass
Description: no bridge need to be work on
Reported on: Aug-15
I see a LOT of missing bridge overpass complaints.
Some, are legitimate: someone failed to separate the layers of road where there is a crossover.
Easy to fix.

Some are spurious: some drivers seem to think that ALL bridges should show up as landmarks.

Some are puzzling: the above is one such. I don't see any problems nearby. I see a crossover that is correct. Maybe it is a 'update propagation' problem and the fixes were made but not propagated. But why wasn't the UR closed????

Most of these come from someone not seeing a road crossing a freeway in Waze when they can see an overpass or underpass in front of them. Of course, it's usually in the Waze map already, but they can't see it because of the autozoom when they're flying down the interstate.
Thanks! I hadn't thought about 'not seeing' something that IS there.
I wonder if some of the 'no turn allowed' are due to similar misunderstandings.

Description: you should indicate emergency response units such as ambulance a fire department on the website because I sat in traffic for an hour today because of that
Reported on: Aug-26
Hmmmm....
on the website?
.........
perhaps he wants to add these to the police reports?
almost a good idea, but I would think that reporting a traffic problem or accident and adding notes should do as well.

and another 'odd one'

Type: Incorrect junction
Description: mc 85 not Monroe
Reported on: Mar-01
Gosh, I thought all these 'incorrect junctions' meant there was a wrongly allowed/forbidden turn.
Looks like a wrongly named street also spawns such.
(or maybe they just hit the wrong button).

I tried PMing him. It is still sitting in my outbox.
I have no idea how to give him his points. :)
