I agree! I really love the Waze app and like how it takes me down routes I wouldn't have known about and finds the quickest path. But my main complaint is when it takes me to a very busy street and asks me to turn left or cross a busy street that doesn't have a street light. I would love it if you could have a preference that excludes any paths where you make a left turn unless there is a turn signal there.

Yes! Definitely need an option to avoid left turns!!

Some turns are only illegal at certain specific times. Example: "No left turn, 7-10AM, Monday through Friday"),

Currently, editors have to mark such a turn as Prohibited ( which is incorrect on weekends and after morning Rush Hours) or Permitted (which is incorrect during weekday Rush Hours)

In major cities (Los Angeles in my case), turning left onto or crossing a major street from a smaller one that is unprotected by a traffic light creates a major slow-down in a Wazer's route and can be dangerous. However, at times of zero-traffic, or in less populous cities, I have seen the benefit first hand.

Perhaps strongly disfavor navigation of this kind when the apparent vehicle load of the target road/crossed road is sufficiently greater than that of the source road.

Or perhaps carefully analyze how long that particular left turn/cross takes Wazers on average to complete in those traffic conditions and stop recommending the slower ones. (After all, some minor streets ARE protected by a light, and those are still useful.)

In LA it can take forever to make a left turn so I try to avoid them whenever possible but often Waze seems to like me making tons of them when only one is necessary (and the difference in time is minimal). Can we limit the left turns?
