    In the last few days I've started ignoring some of the alternate routing suggestions Waze is giving me. I started ignoring them because the suggested alternate routes Waze was giving me eventually added more time to my trip.

    Yesterday was the tipping point. I was driving from Santa Monica to Long Beach (never a short drive unless you're doing it at 3am).
    Waze routed me along side streets zig zagging but all the while avoided putting me on the 405 which is notorious for being a parking lot.

    The routed side streets we're jammed packed and barely moving. I could tell it was all Waze users because we were all following the same route. Also, people in the neighborhood was looking at us like "where did all these cars come from?"
    I watched as my ETA steadily crept up and up to over 20 mins than the original ETA. I even restarted the APP thinking it would come to it's senses. Nope.
    Finally, I broke from the route and headed for the 405. I kept ignoring Waze's suggestions to get off the 405 and take alternate routes. I stayed on the 405 and watched as my ETA started to drop again.
    Something's not right with Waze .. needs some tweaks.
