    please don't route drivers onto Baxter street. it is a very steep street, and there have been many accidents since Waze has routed traffic onto the street (which is also very narrow and not a good commuter street. there is also a daycare center there).

    I am concern about what will happen when Dodger season starts and everyone is trying to use the street. We have had many accidents, near misses, and panicked drivers who had no idea that the street consists of 2 extremely steep hills. when you are at the top of the hill, you can't actually see the road on the other side of the crest until you are on it. this is fine for drivers who are expecting this and slow down to accommodate, but when someone has never been on the street before and just flies over the top at 40 mph, it is incredibly dangerous. the community is currently lobbying to have no left turn signs placed on the street so that Waze doesn't route traffic through Baxter. This will be an inconvenience for the community as well as your users, but if we have to choose between safety or convenience, we will opt for safety. it would the kinder thing for Waze to just pull the street off of its database.
