Waze plans to implement a small detour prevention mechanism to deal with instances where waze calculates that that its a few seconds faster to continue straight or make a right at an intersection and make a u-turn rather than just turning left. Waze will eliminate such detours if there is under a 30 sec difference in the routes. | |||

Big Detours
Waze routing includes a mechanism to prevent routing off a highway/freeway only to be routed right back on the same highway/freeway. The assumption is that drivers will prefer to remain on the highway/freeway even if waze calculates that taking a series of ramps or other collector/distributor roads is slightly faster or shorter.
Waze routing will not present routes over a detour off a highway/freeway and back on that same highway/freeway when each of the following conditions are met:
- the last segment on the highway/freeway before the detour has the same street name and same city name as the next highway/freeway segment after the detour (the segments are considered to have the same name if either the primary name or alternate names are the same, unnamed segments are not considered as having the same name),
- the detour is more than one segment long, and
- the detour is under the threshold length as defined below.
| Road Type | Threshold |
|---|---|
| Freeway | 5km |
| Major Highway | 5km |
| Minor Highway | 500m |
Small Detours
Waze plans to implement a small detour prevention mechanism to deal with instances where waze calculates that that its a few seconds faster to continue straight or make a right at an intersection and make a u-turn rather than just turning left. Waze will eliminate such detours if there is under a 30 sec difference in the routes.
