In the road attributes in Cartouche you have the option to set a road to 'Locked'. Waze will then no longer make any assumptions about the directionality of the road. This is useful for locking the directionality of one-way roads, so they won't be changed to two-way when somebody drives in the opposite direction (or by GPS drift).
