Implement U-turn navigation instruction and ability to allow u-turns at intersection.
In exUSSR countries it is a common practice to use u-turn. Traffic lights at major intersections may have special arrow to allow only left turns and u-turns. But currently Waze cannot use this feature to build optimal route.

@Tonia King, if you're getting a route that has illegal u-turns, the editing community can absolutely restrict them. You need to submit a report so someone can take a look and make the changes.

Take note of the intersections where U-turns are not allowed. Posted no u-turn sign. Which means they are illegal. So this should be corrected on the app, which is why I sent a message to correct it and not get a response like the following response. According, to the response, “u-turns are ambiguous.” We are following the directions provided by Waze and expect them to be correct. Nobody wants to use directions, when the directions are not correct. So U-turn should not be ambiguous.

Ideally, double lefts onto segments of different types/names should not be using a U-Turn instruction. Multiple UR: drivers are advised to make a U Turn when this is a double left from minor highway to parking lot road. This may be also applicable to other road types. This should be revised by waze developers and improved to avoid such situations.

In many countries U turns on major roads are illegal as its a dangerous premise to allow them.
Tomtom is a prime example encouraging drivers to do this where its illegal in the UK, if this feature was implemented it would have to be carefully locked off geographically per country that forbids it.

U turn?

Yes ! Please implement U-turns!

Agreed 100%. Can definitely be confusing for most especially in an unfamiliar area.

How about "make a u-turn," instead. By the time one realizes the two lefts are actually a u-turn, it's too late. Not a big deal when driving in general. If a fare is at stake, and in unfamiliar turf; it can cause a ride cancellation...

Now, UTurn is ok on WME and APP... is not ? :-)

I can only access my workplace when coming from one direction. In the other direction, you have to make a U-turn. Recently someone un-devided the street and now Waze does not use the U-turn any-more. This is very annoying since the selected routes are now completely biased.

Please tell me I need to make a U-turn instead of making a left and then another left

+1 for Russia.
Waze routes are longer than normal for 10-20 minutes due to this problem -

Have you tried using report map error functions? This will allow map editors update navigation potentials

It is common in the USA also

In Russia, the U-turns are very necessary!

in cartouche, when adding a junction to a 2-way street with separating line, there should be an option to allow a u-turn.
Added to this would be a restriction based on which direction traveling can allow a u-turn or not.
