Restricted crossing U turn (RCUT) intersection

The median crossing segments in a restricted crossing U turn (aka "J-turn" or "Superstreet") intersection should be set to the  Ramp  type.

RCUT Turn Instructions

Vehicles utilizing an RCUT / J-Turn will have two turn actions: one when entering the RCUT segment, and another when exiting the segment.

Entering RCUT Segment
Entering RCUT Segment

Typically the Waze-selected prompt should be used at the entrance to the RCUT segment. Normally this would be "Keep Left", if typical geometry is used.

Exiting RCUT Segment

When exiting an RCUT / J-Turn segment:

U-Turn Voice Prompt
  • U-Turn. The turn should be specified as "U-Turn" voice prompt when the motion results in a U-turn for the driver.
Continue Voice Prompt
  • Continue. The turn should be specified as "Continue" voice prompt when the stopping point is directly (or almost directly) facing the next outbound segment.
Turn Voice Prompt
  • Left Turn. The turn should be specified as "Left Turn" voice prompt when the stopping point is not directly facing the next outbound segment (a further left-turning motion is still required).
