Roads are meant for driving.

The second Waze does this is the second it loses it's principles. Fortunately a similar situation that made the news where a neighborhood falsely reported traffic was correctly identified by Waze as false reporting and subsequently ignored.

A "not-in-my-back-yard-problem", if people don't travel through those streets traffic will readjust and other streets will be impacted. And I doubt even deleting your roads from waze would have a big impact, not everyone uses waze. In most countries more cars on the roads each year congesting roads here and there. The anonymous replies below right after each other, are a little bit suspicious in timing.

We use Waze as well and live on Oakdale Road. Traffic has become a nightmare on Springdale, Oakdale and Lullwater. PLEASE take us off your app. as the traffic redirection to our neighborhood is creating a very dangerous environment for our families and creating an unmanageable amount of congestion.

I second this message - "I am a loyal Waze user and love your app. I agree with the other posts on this thread about the damage caused by this traffic redirection. Please adjust your algorithms."

Trying to get into my driveway I now sit in traffic for 20minutes trying to get 200 yards. Please stop using Oakdale as a cut through!

I second this suggestion. As an early Waze user, I love the app, but the sheer volume on these 3 streets is against what the major arteries are intended to do. This is a historic and landmark district in Atlanta. Please treat it as such - - warn Wazers that there are speedbumps on Lullwater, it is dark (no street lights on Lullwater, springdale, Oakdale and very residential).

Part of these streets are also 30306. We have to deal with so much Emory traffic on the main arteries (such as North Decatur Road) and to now have our residential streets bumper to bumper is due to this app. Had to wait in line 15 minutes just to get into my own driveway. Great to show alternative routes but not to endanger intown residential neighborhoods for those passing through to get where they are going a few minutes faster.
