Streets meeting at less than 46 degrees
When streets meet at less than 46° the default turn instruction may not end up being true to life. The instruction may be "stay to the left/right" when drivers would consider it a turn, or "exit left/right" when the driver would consider it a "stay" or "turn". If a junction's angle of <46° corresponds to the natural path of the driver’s path approaching the junction, then a TIO for turn left/right should be used. Note if the road is adjusted to >46° then the Waze algorithm should produce the correct verbal instruction automatically upto the u-turn prompt of > 170°.
The previous methods of doglegs (including micro doglegs) can be left as the appropriate verbal instruction is produced in the app unless the junction is being edited for other reasons. Other methods such as an additional segment to nowhere to force an instruction should be removed and replaced with the appropriate TIO.
Also consider: The departure angle in Waze Map Editor is also shown in the app closure interface. Angles which are too close (under 20°) can overlap in the app, and so should be avoided. Angles of 20° or 25° make it a lot easier to select the closure in the app and also to select the segment while mobile for Uplock or Downlock.
