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

    VZ Navigator has setting for truck to avoid parkways and such

    Great idea and much needed as google, apple maps don't yet have this feature yet be the first cause I run either google or Apple maps and Waze in the background to know when police are on my route much appreciated if you would do that for the next update.

    Seems so simple.

    Create a tag in the software "parkway"
    label the affected roads "parkway"
    create a button in the app to say "avoid parkway" which would reroute the EU to any road that does not have the tag "parkway"

    Alternatively you could call the tag "commercial Vehicle" then do the same thing.

    I prefer the later because there are roads which are not parkways, which prohibit Commercial Vehicles. Or do both.

    This is a Big issue for anyone going through the NYC/CT area, driving with either commercial plates, a truck, or a trailer.

    I to drive a commercial vehicle in New york and staying of parkways is a challenge and for me difficult. I could do my job more efficiently and therefore earn more money

    Please that's going to be awesome for me because i drive a comercial van, thanks

    I agree that this would be a great feature. As far as I'm aware, no gps, whether built in or app has this feature. Much as I'd love to have this capability, my guess is that this feature would be incredibly complicated to provide.

    Agreed. Much needed feature

    I need to avoid parkways , I'm a commercial van driver

  • Zenhead commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, I sometimes rent trucks and WAZE does not differentiate between commercial and non-commercial routes like parkways.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a well needed feature, a feature that would set this app above the rest.

  • Peri Stephenson commented  ·   ·  Report

    Need this feature. We always use Waze, but often tow a trailer. Thanks.

    This is what we need. I'm not a truck driver but I am in my commercial work van every day. Here in New York there are certain roads a commercial vehicle can and cannot take. We really need waze to create an option for us!

  • Bill James commented  ·   ·  Report

    Waze needs this for people pulling trailers, rental vans, etc..

  • Rich T commented  ·   ·  Report

    I cant believe not one app has a feature for commercial vehicles it would make my life so much easier !
