[Segment Attribute Request] Treat 2 Way as Divided
I would like to have the ability to draw a single 2-way segment but be able to mark it as divided so it does not say you have arrived until on correct side of road. Sometimes you may have a segment that may not really need to be divided into 2 One-Way segments but if you want routing to offer the correct directions you would have to divide the segments. In my picture below, the red line shows what Waze currently does (it says you have arrived as you pass the house) The green line shows what it should be doing. This can be accomplished by dividing but if there was an attribute that says "divided segment" that Waze would treat the 2-way segment as 2 One-Way segments, then we would not have to add extra "unneeded" segments but still give the correct routing.
I really think this would go a long way in helping when we have just a short segment that is divided along a longer undivided segment.

at first i like this idea, but then i'm not sure how you'd mark places where there's a crossover. just a junction? but then, how would you differentiate between a connecting street that crosses a median versus one that doesn't? seems as though we're looking for a simple solution to a problem that might already have the simplest possible solution...

The alternative would be splitting a segment into two one-way segments where there's no need.
And this is an unwanted example for trying to fix a not good working behavior with map edits. -

I fully support this idea. This would be ideal for a road with a very small barrier between a single lane going in each direction, or similar examples.
I worry that with the changes to the snapper and what has been said, this will not be implemented.

I like this. I was thinking of a 'force arrival on passenger side' flag for places, but this would work with google results, coordinates, and other non-waze-places.
