Avoid parkway feature

Driving a commercial vehicle we are not allowed to go on parkways. A conventional GPS allows you to "avoid part of route" I want to be able to go on all other highways just not parkways. When it gives you a route, you should be able to avoid parkways where all truckers cannot use either

    Please add no parkway option for people who drive vehicles that are registered Commercial by weight not by business ownership and/or haul travel campers.

    TruckMap - Truck GPS Routes by TruckMap, Inc.

    Exactly. Please add the parkways feature. This would be a lifesaver

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I know of one solution using GPS Garmin used to manufacture the "Nuvi 660" it has a truck mode which treats you like you have commercial plates. It is the only GPS that works period. It does not treat you like an 18 wheel truck driver either.

    I would like to add my request to add and option avoid parkways. in NY no commercial vehicles or trailers are allowed on parkways. I frequently pull a trailer and this causes me issues when i am rerouted onto a parkway when there is an issue with another type of road or highway.
    Also some of the parkways in areas of NY like the Bronx are treacherous in inclement weather.I would like to avoid them but still get routing for other ways. you could call this a safety issue.

    Please add this feature I've been looking for this for years on all apps I've ever used or GPS is that I've ever owned. Although this stretch been going for a while Sooooo.
    .... not going to hold my breath

    I love Waze but I can get a ticket bc it sends me on parkways with my commercial truck

  • Doug Enduser commented  ·   ·  Report

    Heck, just cause I bought a VAN I must have COMB plates here in CT and can't use parkway's now.
    NOT a professional trucker but end-user so YES, the DELETE-PARKWAY feature would potentially save lives overall.

    Sometimes we rent uhaul or enterprise cargo vans, so a little help to avoid tickets would be great

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally!!! Seems like they should have thought about this from the beginning.

  • Glenn commented  ·   ·  Report

    This has been a problem for years. Many large vehicles and cars with trailers are routinely directed onto the parkways by GPS software, which could certainly be capable of accounting for these restrictions, and it shouldn't be the driver's responsibility to fight with the GPS when it directs you where you aren't allowed to go, the GPS software company is being irresponsible if it doesn't account for this. I recommend writing to the governor of your state and requesting that s/he send a strongly worded message to the GPS companies to fix this problem.
