This is a clickable interactive guide to determine what instruction, if any, will be given at the junction between any 2 segments.
There will eventually be encyclopedia style illustrations for the various configurations to visually describe the setup. This will formatted as a sequence flow through, to cover (hopefully) all variations.
Introduction
Understanding how and which instructions are provided requires first understanding a few concepts.
- This page is discussing the instruction which will be provided by the Waze server (or not provided) when traveling from one segment, through a junction, and onto a second segment.
- How Best Continuations work. Any time the destination segment is the Best Continuation there will not be an instruction provided.
While the illustrations displayed by each question may not represent every possible variation, they do represent the difference between the two options in that question. Please choose the most appropriate answer.
Definitions
- The segment you are on before going through the junction, in other words the segment you are coming from will be referred to as the origin, and corresponds to s-in in the the algorithm text provided by Waze staff.
- In terms of navigation, the segment you are being routed from is the origin.
- The segment you will be on after the junction, in other words the segment you are going to will be referred to as the destination, and corresponds to s-out in the the algorithm text provided by Waze staff.
- In terms of navigation, the segment you are being routed on to is the destination.
- Any segments other the destination which leave the junction at an angle less than 44° will be referred to as other branches, and corresponds to s-N, or s-1,2,3,4... in the the algorithm text provided by Waze staff.
- When the beginning portion two segments are directly on top of each other, meaning they both leave the junction at the exact same angle as each other, they will be referred to as an overlapping segment.
- Any road typed in Waze as a Freeway, Major Highway, or Minor Highway, will be referred to in this page as a highway.
- The turn angle is the angle from the origin to the destination. A perfectly straight road with a junction in the middle would have a turn angle is 0°. The angle then gets wider as you turn to either side. A perfect left or right turn would be 90°. A U-turn at a junction between two segments would represent a 180° turn.
insert turn angle diagram, and illustrations (after determining the absolute threshold between keep and turn instructions in testing now)
Directions
To use this interactive flowchart;
- Start with the first question in The Interactive Algorithm.
- Click on the appropriate answer which best matches your situation. A new question will jump to the top of the screen
- Continue answering the questions until an instruction is displayed at the top of the screen.
- This is the instruction that the Waze server should give when transversing this junction between the two segments you described as the origin and the destination.
The interactive algorithm
(01) Other than the origin and the destination, are there any other segments connected to this junction?
YES |
---|
NO => No Instruction |
---|
(19) Are the origin or the destination part of a Roundabout?
YES, see section on Roundabout instructions |
---|
NO |
---|
(02) Is the turn angle from the origin to the destination between 44.5° and 135°?
YES |
---|
NO, the turn angle is less 44.5° |
---|
NO, the turn angle is greater than 135° |
---|
- NOTE: Turns with angles greater than 135° will follow the same instruction path as 44.5°-135°, but the Waze routing server will penalize this turn, and avoid routing through it.
(03) Which direction is the turn?
Left => Turn Left |
---|
Right => Turn Right |
---|
(04) Are there any other branches with unrestricted turns from the origin?
YES |
---|
NO => No Instruction |
---|
(13) Is there more than one (1) other branch?
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(14) Are the two branches (the destination and the other branch) overlapping?
YES => No Instruction |
---|
NO |
---|
(05) Is the name of the origin and the destination identical?
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(06) Are the origin and the destination the same road type?
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(07) Are both the name AND the road type of any of the other branches identical to the origin?
YES |
---|
NO => No Instruction |
---|
