Multiple types of roundabout icon?

I noticed when driving the other day that the roundabout icon for the upcoming roundabout showed the direction of leaving the roundabout, rather than just having the exit number in a circle.
I think these icons are much clearer as they show you which direction you are aiming to leave a roundabout, ("exit 2" doesn't give much context). I was wondering if this is a bug, or something that can be enabled in the app settings?

Ah I see, that makes sense. It'd be nice if Waze could provide a Setting to make that the icon that always shows. I find it much more helpful to know whereabouts the exit is located on the roundabout, especially as CarPlay doesn't always show the directions in the clearest way

I think the challenge is getting the number of arrows and direction when they can change from roundabout to roundabout.
