WAZE to avoid ULEZ zones - type in your vehicle reg before travel?

In April 2019 central London areas operate a 24/7 charge for vehicles which don't pass the ultra low emissions zone. This is the same boundaries as the congestion charge. This is in effect a toll. The only way I can see WAZE controlling this is that the driver must enter their reg that they are driving so that WAZE knows to avoid this toll. My car for example will fall short of the ULEZ, whereas my girlfriends will not so it is dependent on what you drive. Will WAZE build this into their app as a way of avoiding this toll?

Great news! The feature to avoid ULEZ is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

    I drive a few different vehicles. They each have their own settings - for example: whether they can use motorways / unmade roads / ULEZ / congestion charge, etc.
    It would be incredibly useful to have vehicle profiles that you can quickly select at the beginning of a journey, so you don’t have to go through menus and make sure you have all the correct settings each time.

    Ik rij met verschillende wagens die dan ook wel of net geen toegang hebben tot verschillende LEZ-zones. Zou het niet mogelijk zijn om zelf verschillende voertuigen te registeren met telkens hun eigen kenmerken (type, brandstof, LEZ-zones, tol,...) zodat je gewoon een ander geregisteerd voertuig moet selecteren als je verandert van voertuig en niet alle settings manueel moet aanpassen.

    I live in the UK, I drive a hybrid vehicle and there are clean air zones in a number of cities. I would like Waze to add the option of adding my vehicle registration number and on this basis determine where I can go for free and where I cannot go for free.

    Como ya hay más de una sugerencia respecto a esto, solo sugiero que se pueda si uno quiere especificar de forma más concreta el tipo de vehículo que se conduce, como por ejemplo su edad y etiqueta medioambiental, si la tiene o no, en cuyo caso te evite pasar por zona restringidas, episodios de alta contaminación, etc. No todos podemos permitirnos o nos sirve un Tesla para nuestro trabajo. Pero si vendría bien saber por dónde podemos circular o no con nuestro coche, Un saludo.

    Waze - any news on this? In less than a week I'll be charged £12.50 if I accidentally enter the ULEZ. Is there a way to opt out of routes that enter the zone?

    i agree, just got a letter in the post saying my car will be charged if i enter the zone!

    Já pensaram em acrescentar na opção de tipos de veículos, caminhões e avisar sobre zonas de restrição onde ruas ou avenidas que caminhões não podem acessar dependendo do horário seria uma mão na roda para o motorista de caminhão que não conhece determinada região por exemplo a cidade de São Paulo cheia de zonas de restrição, e essa opção no waze nos ajudaria muito alem de se tornar o preferido dos caminhoneiros.

    in Germany there is some restricted zone - area where we are not allowed to enter with Euro4 diesel or Euro5 diesel and some city not allowed some petrol/benzin cars up to Euro III. UMWELTZONE for example: Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Hamburg... It would be very great if the Waze could plan with these restricted areas that I can enter or not with my car.
    It would be nice if I could choose my car details.. Diesel or Gasoil, Euro II-III-IV-V-VI then the application know where I allowed to go or enter.
    This will be very helpful for us!

    Hallo,

    es wäre sinnvoll Sperrungen bezgl. Dieselfahrverbote mit einzupflegen und natürlich muss die Fahrzeugauswahl erweitert werden, wo eben die Spritklasse eingestellt werden kann. Die App sollte dann in der lage sein die gesperrten Teilabschnitte in der Berechnung zu umfahren und Warnungen auszusprechen, bevor man doch in solch einen Abschnitt einfahren könnte.

    Ich wohne in Berlin. Hier wird es aktuell ab kommenden Jahr und in anderen Städten ist das ja leider schon der Fall.

    Na cidade de São Paulo, Brasil, o Waze criou uma ferramenta de cadastro da placa do carro para criar roteiro alternativo para não trafegar pela área de rodizio. Opção muito boa e acetarda. Porém há usuários, assim como eu, que trocam de carro no dia do rodizio por um carro que não tenha restrição de placa no mesmo dia do carro principal.

    Sugiro que o Waze, mantenha a ótima função do rodizio, mas crie um opção de pergunta para o usuário do tipo: Você esta com o carro placas final XPTO, caso sim o usuario confirma e o Waze o orienta para fora da area de restrição. Caso o usuário esteja utilizando outro veiculo o Waze permite rotas dentro a da area de rodizio.

    Da forma que foi implementado, quando troco o carro não posso mais usar o Waze.

    Avaliem bem esta melhoria na funcionalidade.
