We are currently updating the pages to include all regionally different guidelines. If you find inconsistencies, please refer to the English page. Thank you!

Two-way segments will also show the small U-turn arrow icon at both ends of the segment. This is used, as its name suggests, to prevent/enable Waze to use a segment end node as a U-turn, in case of necessity.

The standard rule in the BeLux: U-turns should be disabled: .

U-turns explained

A curved green arrow indicates that a u-turn is allowed in the manner and direction indicated by the arrow at that end of the segment.

When you hover the mouse over an allowed u-turn arrow, a small clock icon appears, which, when clicked on, allowed you to set scheduled u-turn restrictions, as well as vehicle type restrictions on the U-turn.

A curved red arrow with the slashed-circle icon indicates that a u-turn is not allowed (is restricted) in the manner and direction indicated by the arrow at that end of the segment.

A curved yellow arrow with a clock icon indicates the presence of scheduled (time-based) turn restrictions for the direction indicated by the arrow at that end of the segment.

When can U-turns be used

If a unpenalized route ends on a penalized route

We know that waze want to continue a new route in the direction you arrived at a previous destination. If this lead to a penalized route than Waze try to find a way out over this penalized segments. To avoid this we can add a U-turn on transitions to this penalized segments:

• Parking Lot Road
• Private road
• 4x4 road (off-road)
• unpaved road
• Narrow street

The U-turn is not needed on transition to Walking Trail or Pedestrian Boardwalk. The error message on this junctions may be ignored.

Remarks

• See for U-turn prevention the Road aspects page paragraph Double left and double right.
