That is correct. But the turn restrictions for the ramp are both turn off (which doesn't mean Waze won't direct someone to turn there). My question is why have that one ramp there? It serves no purpose for Waze (and I'm not seeing a legal separate purpose for a driver). If I were a driver getting onto I-15 from that road, I would have made my right turn onto the first ramp, regardless if I have 20 people in my car or it's just me. I wouldn't pass up the first ramp just so I can take the 2nd ramp because it's a HOV onramp, they both lead to the same place. They're connected a few feet down the road. That's why I'm asking what is the logical purpose of that ramp?

That's not where the problem is, though (that link just goes to strengthen my point). The problem is at the intersection further back where the driver is supposed to make a right onto the ramp to get onto I-15, but Waze is instructing the driver to make a left.

I think the Wiki rules on the HOV lane are more for the HOV lanes on the freeway, not the ramps. I made a small change, see if that works.
