This article discusses double-turn U-turns. For standard one or two segment U-turns, adjust the junction arrows.
As of December 2021[update], the Waze routing algorithm penalizing some double-left and double-right turns has been disabled in the United States. The routing server will no longer automatically avoid double-left turns. To prevent u-turns on divided roads, use a Junction box. |
Historic U-turn routing prevention
The Waze routing algorithm previously had a method of penalizing some double-left and double-right turns. This used to prevent U-turns at H or # style intersections on divided and parallel roads. Expand the section below to learn how this used to work.
