ALLEYS are useful for bypassing gridlock

I live and drive a lot in Chicago. Driving for Lyft waze constantly routes me through alley ways. Which is illegal. And half the time it puts my point to navigate to in an alley and not on the Main Street. This is a major problem and issue not only for me. But for my customers as well.

Ability to block routing through alleys

I am tired of finding myself being told that destination is basically the only way to get to it is by stopping in the alley. Well I want to be able to get to their destination in the front of the house of course and of course I want to be able to do so with the option of being able to decide whether if it's a Tulane or two-way street which way I want to vehicle to face on that street as opposed to just pulling down the street

The problem isn't when there's heavy traffic -- in those cases, usually the complicated routes actually serve to get you around traffic quite handily. The problem is the complicated route is still suggested even when there is NO traffic.

I actually noticed that too... When there's a heavy traffic, it route me though streets that requires lots of turns.

I feel this is just a minor problem though...

Based on my observation, Waze tends to throw up extremely complicated navigation at times. When following its advice in times of heavy traffic, the route is very fast and useful. However, even at times when roads are abandoned and taking major thoroughfares would be simpler and yield similar time/distance results, the convoluted path is still the one suggested.

I would hope the algorithm would weight every turn as a negative so that a turn would only be added in those cases that it provides an obvious time/distance gain at the time of navigation.
