Edit needed, beyond my understandings

Post by FastKatt
I was directed, by Waze, to drive in a circle, just ahead of the point marked on this map:
https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-84.87 ... TTTTTTTTFT
There is no reason for this, but I can't see what needs to be changed to fix it.
Any help would be great, thanks for looking!

What was your destination, or near your destination, and what route would you expect to follow?

Waze wanted me to drive around the block & get back on the same street I was driving on.
According to the UR that was on the map earlier, but someone closed, Waze was trying to get you to go back the other direction, not get back on the same road the same direction. Maybe that wasn't your UR...

Those segments are red because you haven't finished the editing job of assigning a city and name. http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Crea ... ng_details

They also should NOT be ramps. Ramps are for grade-separated interchanges only. http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Ramp#Ramps

I've unlocked the segments so you can connect the dedicated turn lanes. Though, in reality, they really add too much complexity to an intersection which only really needs one dedicated turn lane (northeast). The other turns simply don't need them.

The "loop" NW of my trouble marker.
Oh, yes. I do. :) You still have them set as ramps. Please fix.

Even Livemap does the odd routing loop: http://www.waze.com/livemap/?zoom=11&lo ... g=45200796

Looking at the edit map again...

https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-84.87 ... s=54188887 junction had a geometry node beyond the intersection, caused by use of Cartouche. I'm fixing things up.

Three of your "ramp" dedicated turn lanes don't have turns allowed. And if you have a dedicated turn lane, then you must restrict the turn at the main intersection junction. (allow the right turn lane, but disable the turn turn where the main streets meet)

As stated above, I can't correct the turning rights on the major roads.
Sure you can. I wrote I unlocked all the segments for you. As of this writing, Waze will choose to route to the center junction to turn right instead of the right-turn lanes you added because of turns being restricted at the point they diverge from the main road and the turn at the main center junction is still enabled.

How about now? (I missed one!)
