Stop routing traffic down quiet residential streets
Your app has a very narrow focus. It doesn't take the actual street or the people that live on it into consideration. I have lived on a very quiet residential street until your app has increased in popularity. Thanks to your app, our street is now like a mini-highway and two neighbor pets have recently been killed. Additionally, your ignorant app doesn't take into consideration that it is directing traffic to take a very dangerous left turn onto Briarcliff Road. The results have been numerous accidents. Please take Stephens Drive, 30329 off your cut throughs at once.
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Incredibly swift, high volume traffic caused by Waze is destroying safety of this neighborhood. Our 80-year neighbor who walks with cane has had to stop taking walks due to dangerous cut through traffic. So sad residents are innocent victims in this. Please help.

No sidewalks, one-lane narrow in places. Speeds above 10 mph are not safe and those from outside the area do not realize this until a dangerous situation develops. I have lived here for more than 30 years and it has never been this dangerous for pedestrians, bicyclists, and cars as it is now with the high volume of cut-through traffic caused by drivers unfamiliar with the neighborhood and using Waze.

There is no way for two cars to navigate these streets. It causes blocks and is dangerous. Our kids live here, play here. Ride bikes here. Walk home from school here. Our quiet neighborhood has become a highway.

The streets are narrow and have many blind curves. We have children playing and walking home from school as well as dog walking all the time. It is dangerous and congestive and should not be an option for traffic. People speed through. There have been instances where our parked cars have been hit, with the driver moving on. These streets are too narrow for this kind of traffic. Not to mention that we live in a residential area for a reason.

Children play on these narrow streets. Confused drivers go so fast. An accident waiting to happen!

Why are there multiple vote options?

These streets are so narrow that only one car can pass in parts. It shouldn't be a cut thru for non-neighborhood traffic.

Also, we have no sidewalks between Griffith Park Blvd and kenilworth, and the street is very narrow, causing pedestrians to share the road with cars in the same lanes. Children too. There is no safe haven to walk when the street is full of cars. Pedestrians must wait between parked cars or in driveways for a safe moment to pass.

My kids often bike both of these streets home from their middle school.

It has become dangerous to walk down our street with my children in the last year or two. We have no sidewalks. We have had a huge increase in traffic and the majority of traffic is over the speed limit.

You are helping to create gridlock on small residential streets. Residents are having trouble getting out of their own driveways and eventually somebody is going to get hurt.

Remove Scotland and Meadow Valley Terrace, as well. These are curved hillside streets with no sidewalks!! People MUST walk in the traffic lane (singular, beside parked cars) with children and dogs in-tow. Strangers heed no yellow caution warning signs posted by residents and speed around blind curves and down limited distance straightaways. It's not "if" an accident will happen ... it's "when" it will happen. These streets were not designed or built for this amount of rush hour traffic.

Narrow residential streets with multiple curves with blind spots, speeding commuters who are unfamiliar with and disregard stop signs create unsafe conditions for school children, pedestrians pushing baby strollers and dog walkers. This street must be removed from Waze. Potential legal liabilities exist if notice has been repeatedly given about these hazardous conditions and they are ignored or dismissed.

By redirecting traffic away from Rowena and Griffith Park Blvd (both wide streets with sidewalks) onto these narrow residential streets with little or no sidewalks you are inviting tragedy. Please remove them - be a decent citizen.

these are unsafe streets for increased traffic flow.

It is insane the amount of people that try to drive on these little streets!

This route should not be used to bypass a little traffic. Without sidewalks, pedestrians must walk in the street. These streets are narrow and winding with many blind curves. Cars often have to pull over just to pass. Speeding, distracted drivers are a hazard to this family-friendly neighborhood.
