Twin Cities Exit issues
The ramp naming in the Twin Cities is is absolutely awful and thought that we need to create a forum to address not only the bad named ramps, but also the rules of naming the ramps. The worst part is most of these ramps are locked out to a level 5 or higher and were locked with invalid naming.
Here are just a few examples:

This is labeled as, "Exit: CR-1 E / Old Shakopee Rd / Riverview Rd" ... This looks like it should be correct; however, since it is not a numbed exit, the way it is labeled will sound redundant in the navigation saying something like, "In a quarter of a mile, exit at exit County Road 1 East ...." Instead, this should be labeled as "to CR-1 E / Old Shakopee Rd / Riverview Rd"
https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... s=62331821
This is labeled as, "Exit 5 106th St" and wow does this sound dumb with no pauses in voice. It should be labeled as, "Exit 5: 106th St" ... I know this sounds so minor, but adding the colon here will add the proper pause in speech and look correct in the navigation

This actually isn't shown as a ramp, but it should be. Also the label, "Exit 88A: I-35W N / Minneapolis" should be changed to, "Exit 88A: I-35W / Minneapolis" since the sign on the road does not give the definition of North being in the title. It's not heavily important to change the label; however, Waze does not handle the label well and it really sounds weird the way it is ... take a drive where you will be navigated on this section and you will hear what I'm talking about.

This is labeled as, "Exit to Co Rd 32 / Cliff Rd" but there are a couple of issues with this label. The Co Rd will come out as "Ko Road" and sound stupid. This should be labeled as, "to CR-32 / Cliff Rd" instead.

This is almost labeled correct with, "to I- 94 / I- 694 W / Humboldt Ave" but there shouldn't be any spaces in the interstate part. This should be labeled, "to I-94 / I-694 W / Humboldt Ave" ... I actually see this issue littered across the metro in many different areas and some places it will say, "eye to 94 west" because of the spaces.
What I would like to do in this forum is to address all the poorly named ramps in the metro area and create a list that can be better addressed than a simple unlock request.
