Can you turn off u-turns on Apple maps?

In many areas of Canada, it is illegal to do u-turns. Maps needs to reflect this. In addition, they need to update the lanes, as some lanes are labeled as turning lanes when they are straight only.

Apple Maps - Traffic Laws My home province is Nova Scotia. Apple Maps appears to know the traffic laws for my province. When it a U-Turn is required it says something like "where allowed make a U-Turn". It knows that U-Turns are allowed unless that are signs posted that say No U-Turns (white sign with the letter U with a red circle around the letter and a red line drawn through the letter top left to bottom right). This week I am in British Columbia. Apple Maps uses a different phrase here for U-Turns. The phrase is "Make a U-Turn". No warning about only where it is allowed. It turns out that in British Columbia U-Turns are illegal. Today I received a $175.00 ticket for making a U-Turn. Why is Apple Maps correct for Nova Scotia and incorrect for British Columbia? The laws for both provinces have been on the books for years. If Apple doesn't know the laws for a specific region it should ensure its software is not advising the driver to break the law. I tried to report this issue within the App and there is no option for reporting anything like this. Also within this forum there is no topic for Apple Maps.

Apple maps is dangerous. I use apple maps while driving a class A semi truck. It works very well, but recently, it's been changing my route without my consent mid-transport. I review my route every time carefully, but when the app thinks it knows a faster route, it's actually putting me and others in danger. I can't go everywhere a car goes with a 48` trailer in tow. Telling me to get a truck gps does not help. Here's my question:How do i make sure maps does not change my route without me taking my eyes off the road to mess with my phone? Also, I'd like to turn off u-turns as an option.

Apple Maps avoiding highways My iPhone 11 Pro recently started avoiding highways in the Apple Maps app. I have checked all my settings and none are toggled to avoid them. My software is up to date. I’ve turned off my device and turned it back on. How do I fix this?

There is no way to disable U turn advice. For lane errors you can use the app to report any error in a map. Note that the database is not updated continuously, only a few times a year, so any change in traffic regulations take a while to percolate out to the map database. The mapping app that can be updated in closer to real time is Waze, as updates are crowd sourced and made by volunteers.
