Please, give us an option for caravan, camping-car and big véhicule, to have large and cool road !!!!
I have a big old caravan, ad sometimes, road are not ridding easy with it.
It's possible to have an option like motorway or not, for ridding cool and secure with big and large truck, caravan or camping-car?
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

It sounds like you're looking for routes that are more accommodating for large vehicles like caravans, camping-cars, and big trucks.

As said by others, camper characteristics are different from Carno motorbikes.
Dimensions, weight, max speed are really important and I'm sure there are lot of camper drivers in the community, so why not to start developing
such area?
Moreover, parking areas, service areas and camping can be added as info (maybe even monetizing advertisers)
Please move on! -

I've been using WAZE since it's early stages for the G1. It would be nice for Google to consider adding options for commercial drivers or a standalone device. I would definitely purchase.

Option to set the maximal speed would also work so the ETA is more accurate

Vehicle height is hugely important.

I love Waze and the concept behind it, but I'm driving a van and very often I'd love to have the road given on the dimensions of my car. We van users are part of the community too

Heavy Good Vehicles - HGV. It would be great if WAZE could incorporate these vehicles. I find WAZE very useful and helpful and would use all the time if larger vehicles could be added to the App. Keep up the good work. Can we make a donation via PayPal?

It would be amazing to be able to use Waze for a motorhome. Waze could then ask for our dimensions and then only choose routes that we can fit our motorhome . Instead we get sent down a track that a toddlers trike couldn't fit.

سلام ، چون بعضی از مسیرها کامیون ممنوع است لطفا برنامه ای طراحی فرامیید برای تسهیل تردد مسیر کامیون و ماشینهای سنگین . با تشکر

There should be an option for trucks to input that they are driving a truck

Poderiam incluir tipo de veículo tipo carro/caminhão/ moto e seus respectivos tempos de viagem. O mais interessante seria a de veículos pesados, mais utilizados.

Yo Ella,
Why are you shutting down all the good ideas while saying you'll consider adding more voices?
Did all the coders at waze quit except the guy working on voices? -

Ability to add customised vehicles with limited top speed in order to have travel time to destination calculated correctly on that basis rather than the allowable top speeds along the route. Example: Travel time for a passenger car would be based on the allowable 50 km/h on urban streets and 130 km/h on motorways. However, when travelling with a caravan or a truck, one would perhaps want to limit his speed to 80km/h on motorways. Thus, 50 km/h would apply for all urban streets, but anything above 80 km/h would be limited to 80 km/h, which will result in a correct time to destination / arrival time.

Bonjour, j'utilise beaucoup Waze mais je tracte une caravane. Serait-il possible de renseigner "voiture avec caravane" dans les informations du véhicule pour que le choix de l'itinéraire prenne en compte le gabarit de la voiture avec sa caravane. Ça me serait d'autant plus utile que je voyage aussi à l'étranger. Merci.

Today many travel with bigger motorhomes / Gooseneck Trailers etc. Not a category for big trucks or lorrys, but well over 3.5 ton combination. There is many restricted bridges / roads to max 3.5 ton. Waze keep on telling me to follow a road after I've passed a sign " 3.5 ton max total weight " Couldn't there be a setting option in vehicle to car with boat trailer, caravan or bigger motorhome for to avoid this very annoying problem. Google map have the same issue, be first with this future and get all bigger combo users over . Kind Regards Peter

Add routes that trucks of certain length, weight and height can go on. As trucks can’t drive on every road that a car can, with certain roads or bridges and tunnels having restrictions. It’ll allow for less congestion and accidents happening when the truck is able to go a more desirable route

I'm a truck driver, and there's a lot of roads I simply can't take in my truck. It would be excellent to have a vehicle type for Large Vehicles that avoids unsuitable roads.
This idea would require a lot of implementation and a lot of users adding data to the map. Map data required would be:
- Load / weight limits: Ability to mark a road as an unsuitable route for vehicles over a certain weight (i.e. 10 ton load limit, as many roads in my area are signposted) unless that road MUST be driven to reach the destination. This could also be used to set bridge load limits.
- Length limits: Some roads in my area are restricted to vehicles under a certain length (i.e. vehicles under 10m only) and cannot be driven on in larger vehicles, unless that road is unavoidable to reach the destination.
- Height limits: There are many low bridges in my area, and the ability to mark a place on a road as low clearance (i.e. 3.4m ) which must NOT be passed by a vehicle of greater height, would be excellent.The vehicle selector would also need a new vehicle added. The "Large vehicle" selection would ideally have parameters you can set, these would be:
- Weight
- Length
- Height
- Speed limit
The first three items would be used to avoid roads with lower weight, length, or height limits than the vehicle (i.e. an 8 ton truck would still be allowed on a 10 ton limited road but a 16 ton truck would be given a different route)
The fourth item would be used to adjust ETAs and modify the speed limit display. This would ideally be customisable; In my country, vehicles over 4.5 ton are limited to 100km/h, with some larger trucks limited to 90. Cranes are generally limited to 80.Additionally, rest areas could be marked with length or weight limits (Or simply marked "Truck Friendly" or "Truck Parking Available" to allow truck, caravan and RV drivers to plan suitable rest stops.
The addition of Heavy Vehicle Inspection Stations (both permanent and temporary - reportable) would be beneficial, but not essential.
The implementation of the vehicle type would in theory be fairly easy; the difficult and time consuming part will be gathering the user data for length, height and weight limits. I would suggest marking this feature as Beta until substantial data has been added by users.
Even in Beta this would be useful: A route that avoids some unsuitable roads is still better than a route that doesn't avoid any unsuitable roads.
