At the moment, that would be possible by assigning parking lots for visitors vs. residents. The driver would need to know to search for the correct parking lot (the person inviting the guest would typically need to tell the guest about it.)

For commercial places, this would be done by using multiple entrance points with correct descriptions. (Which, unfortunately, still isn't rolled out for Android.)

Also note that, while you can add an entry point for a loading dock, Waze doesn't support the use in trucks, nor is it planning too due to too many legal implications.

It can apply to people who are going to business complexes as well. For example, USAA in Phoenix has like 3 entrances. They have a main gate and delivery gate, etc... There is a benefit to it to specifically route people to one entrance or another. Or better example for a military bases. What entrance should visitors be routed to compared to military members and authorized persons.

Waze should not route drivers through roads that are known to be restricted to residents, cardholders, employees, etc.

The simple fix is to mark those roads as one-way streets (for community exits, so everyone can exit the property easily), and mark the entrance lanes as "restricted," and never route a driver to that location until the Waze *USER* has taken that route several times (Waze still "learns" your preferred routes over time, right?).

Right now the rest of us, including tourists and new drivers, still get taken to places we're not allowed to go, leaving us stranded, trying to find another way to get in. This is especially harmful to those of us who drive for a living. It's bad enough being taken to a resident-only restricted entrance to a gated community when you're delivering a pizza and end up late because you have to figure out how to get to the right place, but imagine being a ride share driver taking a tourist from the airport to their rental house only to end up at the back gate and not know where the front entrance is? It's bad enough that taxi cab drivers have a reputation for taking the longest possible route to run up the meter, why do we willingly force this on our own community of users?

I've repeatedly been given the brushoff excuse of "Waze is for commuters", however anyone in a commuting situation will know that certain dedicated entrances are available for their use, like a gated community that has a second entrance on the opposite side of the property that requires an entry card, clicker or transponder, but doesn't have a call box or security guard to facilitate non-resident entry.

Out of the nearly 16 million registered drivers in Florida alone, Waze says we should give preferential treatment to the 300 residents in a gated community... How is THAT fair to the rest of the Waze community?

The admins have already said they have no interest in doing this as "Waze is for commuters" .... what exactly that's supposed to mean I'm not sure... Residents of a gated community should already know that there are "special" entrances that only they can use, why route thousands of Waze users there when they can't get in?

My suggestion to better improve navigation in private communities is to code in restrictions for the road for resident / employee and guest only entrances and exits. This will allow the app to better navigate to the user to the correct entrance of the residential gated community or private business complex.

To make these edits, a user will go into the restrictions tab in the editor to add a guest or resident / employee entrance for particular gated community or business complex. These entrances and exits will be given the road type of private road. The user will have the ability to set specific times of day a guest entrances / exits are open. Example being you have a large private subdivision with 3 guest entrances. At night time 2 shut down and the primary one is only open. How does the user know which gate to navigate to if it's not coded into the map or if they do not know the community? By coding this feature into Waze, it improves navigation accuracy to private communities or business complexes.

In summary this feature will be used on business campuses and private subdivisions. It will also improve on how we draft these areas in the map. The current way of drafting these communities seems to be a workaround for a lack of this specific feature I've requested.

Please avoid the town of Leonia New Jersey during morning rush hour. they do not allow commuters on the side roads as the streets are blocked and are only for local residents. This is extremely problematic for commuters if waze guides you to this area.

Suburbs should not be permitted to make streets unwelcome to other drivers from Waze or other traffic routing apps. It's unconstitutional and harms the driver's right to travel freely. Also, communities with poor traffic engineering need to correct that rather than make it worse by restricting drivers' paths.
