When Waze gives navigation instructions to "turn", "exit", or "keep" onto an unnamed segment, it will look ahead on the recommended route for a road name that it can use. If there is a named segment further along the recommended route, it will use (inherit) that name in the instruction.
The inherited name is only used in the displayed and spoken instruction prompts, it does not affect the actual name of the segment. Unnamed segments are often used to control instructions on feeder ramps and at grade connectors (AGCs). Please be sure to understand all the ways in which unnamed segments can affect navigation instructions before adding names to unnamed segments or removing them from named segments.
This always works for Freeways and Ramps .
This never works for Parking Lot Roads or Private Roads , As of October 2018[update]
On all other road types (any road type which is not a Freeway, Ramp, Parking Lot Road, or Private Road), this feature only works if:
- The combined length of the consecutive unnamed segments is shorter than 400 meters (1,312 feet),
AND - There are 3 or fewer unnamed segments in a row.
To explain the above conditions from other perspectives:
- If the consecutive unnamed Local Street , Primary Street , Minor Highway , or Major Highway segments measured together are longer than 400 m (1,312 ft), or if there are 4 or more unnamed segments in a row, Waze will not show or speak a name in the instructions.
- Names are never inherited through unnamed Parking Lot Road or Private Road segments.
