Separate toggles for Toll Bridges and Express Lanes
Please add an option to avoid Express Lanes while still using Toll Bridges.
The HOV lanes in my area are being converted to Express Lanes that charge excessive tolls (closing in on $10) to use them. I refuse to drive in them. However, it's necessary for me to cross toll bridges to get to work (avoiding them will add an hour to my commute). If I tell Waze to avoid tolls, I avoid the Express Lanes AND the Toll Bridges, which is terrible.
Separating the 'Toll' toggle into 'Toll Bridges' and 'Express Lanes' would be very helpful.

Other users have asked, but the solution given has been to disable HOV, which does not solve this.
Express lanes allow for single occupant vehicles, at often exorbitant premium cost for little to no time saved, and often have alternate entrances so you cannot easily switch once you realize you are on an express lane route.
I would love to selectively disable these while still taking normal toll roads that save hours of travel.
(Alternatively, instituting an advanced toll option where you can specify the dollar amount you're willing to pay per 10 minutes saved would accomplish this)

Totally agree. As someone in the DC area, toll roads are VERY different from express lanes and should be a different setting.

Yes! Some of the suggested routes when avoiding toll roads (which also avoid toll bridges) make no sense at all. All of our local (freeway) bridges are toll bridges. Waze routing around them does not work in our region. Please separate Toll Bridges and Toll Lanes!
