Navigation instructions for unnamed segments

When a user is routed through an unnamed segment, Waze will automatically use the name of the next named segment on the route (AKA Road name inheritance). This is useful for getting instructions on ramps and turn lanes. This, however, can be confusing in other areas, like large parking lots.

For details on how unnamed segments affect whether an instruction prompt will be given, please see the Best continuation article.
For details on how to change what instruction prompt will be given at a fork, please see the Wayfinder article.
