Waze not recognizing road

Post by ylwfvr
I drive the same route everyday to my house, and there is a road that is a shortcut that Waze always ignores and sends me one road further. The odd thing is, once I do turn down the road, Waze recognizes it. The time to my house does not change either. Actually sometimes its 1 or 2 min faster. So I don't get why it never suggests to take this road?

Where is this located? What City/State or City/Country? I need this info so I can move it to one of the more local forums to get you help from other local users.

When discussion specific parts of Waze map, it is best to post a Permalink to the location in question so the rest of us can look at it.

Hello ylwfvr,


This is the area you are referring to.

What the issue is, is that Hamlin Rd east of Dequindre is classed as a normal Street, where as everything around it is at least minor highway. This for annoying reasons results in the routing server not wanting to choose it.

I have upgraded that section of road to see if it changes. We will have to give it a few days for the change to make it to the app, then it should improve.
