Implement a setting for winter tires with studs and help driver to avoid forbidden streets
Implement a setting for winter tires with studs and help the driver to avoid forbidden streets. In urban areas in the Nordic countries it is becoming more common that local politicians forbid driving cars with winter tires with studs on some streets with high pollution. When creating a route to a destination, Waze do not take into account that some of the streets may be restricted due to this. This is becoming a problem since the driver need to be a local to know where not to drive. Signs showing the restriction are always present but will be noticed too late and mostly when you actually already are on the street. Fines for not complying are high and the police makes regular checks. Studs save lives applied on cars used in various winter conditions and will be used widely also in the future.

YES! I've been thinking about it several winters already and even being a local it can be annoying to keep in mind route planning according to studded tire regulations. All my votes to this idea!

We in the north need more due to other traficlaws and rules, this is one of them and I stand behind it all the way.
If the app should work as it was ment with us users contribute to live trafic and use it our selfs then this things need to be looked over, otherwise i and everyone in the north can go back using Google Maps.

Great suggestion! This would preferably be implemented with a toggle support in the UI so that a decision can be taken for a given ride whether the restriction is applicable or not (I have two cars, one with studded tires and one without...)
