Restricted crossing U turn (RCUT) intersection

The median crossing segments in a restricted crossing U turn (aka "J-turn" or "Superstreet") intersection should be set to the Ramp type.

RCUT Turn Instructions

Vehicles utilizing an RCUT / J-Turn will have two turn actions: one when entering the RCUT segment, and another when exiting the segment.

Entering RCUT Segment

Typically the Waze-selected prompt should be used at the entrance to the RCUT segment. Normally this would be "Keep Left", if typical geometry is used.

Exiting RCUT Segment

When exiting an RCUT / J-Turn segment:

U-Turn. The turn should be specified as "U-Turn" voice prompt when the motion results in a U-turn for the driver.

Continue. The turn should be specified as "Continue" voice prompt when the stopping point is directly (or almost directly) facing the next outbound segment.

Left Turn. The turn should be specified as "Left Turn" voice prompt when the stopping point is not directly facing the next outbound segment (a further left-turning motion is still required).
