The Waze routing algorithm has a method of [[Routing penalties#Road_configurations|penalizing]] some double-left and double-right turns. This can prevent U-turns at H or # style intersections on divided and parallel roads.

It is useful for preventing the sequence of two turns that would make up the U-turn, while still allowing the individual turns. However, if either of the two turns making up the U-turn is illegal or impossible, disallow that turn instead. The U-turn will then not be routed, and the following penalty does not matter.


==== {{@|Preventing median U-turns}} ====
An extremely large U-turn penalty is set for a double-left or double-right turn when '''''all three''''' of the conditions below are met: 

# '''Three segments''': The U-turn is a reversal of driving direction through three segments: <br>an incoming segment&nbsp;(A), a single median segment&nbsp;(B) and an outgoing segment&nbsp;(C).
# '''Short median''': The median segment&nbsp;(B) is shorter than {{:Routing_penalties/U-turn_minimum}}.<br>''As a safety margin, leave a 1 m buffer zone by using {{:Routing_penalties/U-turn_minimum|less}} or less.''
# '''In/out parallelism''': The in and out segments (A&nbsp;and&nbsp;C) are  [[#Checking for parallel incoming and outgoing segments|within ±5° of parallel]] to each other.
<br>
{{Mbox|type=important|text=It is possible for this method to fail to prevent a U-turn when it is the first segment of a route, or it immediately follows a reroute. If you observe this method to fail in other situations when it is implemented properly, please report it in [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=994385#p994385 this forum thread]}}
<br>

==== {{@|Allowing median U-turns}} ====

To allow a double-left or double-right turn through the median segment, break any one of the [[#Preventing median U-turns|above conditions]]. For example:

* To allow median U-turns in both directions, break condition #2 by making the median segment&nbsp;(B) {{:Routing_penalties/U-turn_minimum|greater}} ''or longer''
* To allow a U-turn from only one direction, first set up U-turn prevention for both directions. Break condition #3 on the side where U-turns are allowed. Increase or decrease the angles so that the in and out segments (A and C) are [[#Checking for parallel incoming and outgoing segments|not parallel]]. A [[Glossary#mDL|micro-dogleg]] can be used to change the angle without changing the appearance of the segment.

<br>

==== {{@|Checking for parallel incoming and outgoing segments}} ====

Condition #3 for U-turn prevention requires that the in and out segments (A&nbsp;and&nbsp;C) are within ±5º of parallel to each other. This is checked by using a ''straight'' median segment as the reference and the [[Scripts#WME_Junction_Angle_info|Junction Angle Info]] (JAI) browser extension to measure angles. JAI may be set for absolute or [[Interactive_junction_instruction_algorithm#Turn_angle|turn angles]]; using either is OK.

===== {{@|Straight median segments}} =====
If the median segment is straight, sum the two angles making up the U-turn:
:# The angle between the incoming and median segments (between A and B)
:# The angle between the median and outgoing segments (between B and C)
The in and out segments (A&nbsp;and&nbsp;C) are considered parallel if the sum is {{font color|red|between 175º and 185º}}.

|}

===== {{@|Curved median segments}} =====
If the median segment&nbsp;(B) has been shaped with geometry nodes, it is not straight and cannot be used for determining parallelism. Instead, draw a straight segment connected at the same in and out junctions (where in-segment&nbsp;(A) junctions with the median segment&nbsp;(B) and where the median segment&nbsp;(B) junctions with the out-segment&nbsp;(C)). Check the angles using this new straight segment, and delete the new segment afterwards.

| Cutting a median segment into two may have unintended consequences
| U-turns are legal at this intersection. Even though U-turn prevention will ''not'' be triggered here, Waze will rarely route a U-turn at this intersection. When the railroad was junctioned with the median segment, it cut a single median into two. The two-segment discontinuity between divided roads of Major Blvd can trigger a lower penalty mechanism designed to discourage detours off the main road (see [[Detour_Prevention_Mechanisms/USA#Big_Detours|Big Detour Prevention]], BDP).

| Cutting a median segment into two may have unintended consequences
| U-turns are not legal at this intersection, but Waze may route a U-turn here anyway. Cutting the median breaks condition #1, so U-turn prevention will not trigger. Furthermore, BDP might not trigger here if all of its criteria are not met.

| A median segment {{:Routing penalties/U-turn minimum|greater}} or longer will always allow a U-turn
| While condition #3 requires a straight segment for determining parallel in and out segments, condition #2 is the measure of the length of the median segment itself. Be careful when the space between the divided road is small. Ensure the U-turn segment is {{:Routing penalties/U-turn minimum|greater}} or longer by adjusting geometry. A median segment of any shape can trigger a U-turn penalty between parallel roads if it is not long enough.

| To ensure proper routing between two closely spaced parallel roads, connect the two with a segment {{:Routing penalties/U-turn minimum|greater}} or longer
| U-turn prevention triggers for both double-left and double-right turns over any road type. If the three conditions for median U-turn prevention are met, a large penalty will be applied, irrespective of whether the turn is onto the same road in the opposite direction or onto a completely different road. Both double-left and double-right turns can be penalized, regardless of country, and can occur for one way or two way segments.
