I&#x27;ve noticed some of the &quot;Waze shortcuts&#x27; making their way into Google maps. Some of these are pretty hairy. For anyone familiar with SF, here&#x27;s an example:<p>To get from 8th &amp; Bryant to 3rd &amp; Bryant, Google Maps&#x2F;Waze wants you to get on I-80 at 8th and exit at 4th. That would be OK but you enter 80 from the left side of the interstate and must exit within a <i>quarter mile</i> to the right side of the interstate. This means crossing 4 lanes to get there. It&#x27;s actually do-able in bumper-to-bumper gridlock but when traffic is moving it&#x27;s pretty dangerous. Why not just go down Bryant Street? The &quot;shortcut&quot; can&#x27;t save more 2 minutes at best and at worst costs 10+ minutes.<p>Waze used to be good for spotting cops and speed traps. Now it&#x27;s just a collection of bad &quot;short cuts&quot;.
