Changes to Editor - New Automatic Detected Problem

Post by mdqueenz
Seems like something changed in the editor.

There seems to be a new Automatic Detected Problem " Most users did not follow the suggested route".

All of a sudden i have hundreds pop up in my AM area (NYC, Long Island).

Did we know this was coming?

Anyway, no time to waste. Time to start resolving some problems.

Yes, a lot of the errors have long been corrected, however i have tons where the problem is still existant.

Hopefully once we get past this backlog, the generating of these errors will be much more up to date.

What does the number in the bubble represent (in the driver's actual route)? Is it the number of times that instruction has been ignored?

Sure helps in detecting errors. Picks up on tons of stuff that is incorrect, yet drivers don't ever report it.

Should this thread perhaps be merged with the official editor thread? I'd rather read one thread.

These auto generated are also showing me where alot of times waze is trying to cut a corner of an intersection where people are turning left. Instead of turn left at a light, it tries to send them down a side street to turn left onto that major road. I'd rather turn left at a light then from a side street..
I've been noticing the same thing on a regular route of mine. Waze passes the left-turn at the intersection with a light and directs me to a U-turn at a break in the highway median.

With this new batch of automatic Waze reports, I (and others) have experienced problems getting the reports to even show up. Any tricks / workarounds? My cache is set to clear every time I close the browser ...

Waze's servers are probably just overloaded - hopefully lesson learned for next time they run the script.

Here is another with a similar config. Both this one and my last post had no problem on the straight through route. The route proposed is a single dead end street with no city or road name. It was edited by Staff on January 1 this year. Not the road next to it is untouched and still shows Portola Valley. Note sure why the script did not fix that road as well.

How about this one? It came up as "Most users did not follow the suggested route"
The roads being proposed as the route are dead ends. They are unnamed and have no city, so there is no address for which to navigate. I did notice they are all recently edited by staff in the last week and these would classically be Portola Valley roads, so maybe there is some connection between them causing this as a false route problem.
