Add option to avoid low bridges based on vehicle height.
Low bridges need to be avoided. Need an option to route based on avoiding low bridges. Vehicle height or minimum bridge height could be used to route.

Must be set up. Malaysia alot of the low bridges, somemore the trailer always over heights and ramp to the bridge or oversize and make turn to the small bridge. it may cause jammed and alot of inconvenient accidents.

If this was an option for only premium users I think a lot of users would go for it including myself

I love using waze when I travel, our motorhome is 3.1m high is there an option for height of low bridges? I would be great to know prior to finding the low bridge.

This is a perfect use case for the new "permanent hazard" feature that is currently rolling out.
I get dragged every time I comment on this idea in the forums because "Waze is not intended for commercial use" but a lot of Wazers use high profile vehicles for personal use...

I have a vehicle slightly taller than usual (8’ 4”) and it’s just tall enough to have clearance issues at several underpasses in my area, but I don’t always remember where they are, but Waze tries to take me through them and then I’ve got to interrupt traffic to turn around and force another route.

This option is critical because I like to use this app for private and commercial use.

Using Waze to navigate in France nearly caused me to get my Motorhome stuck because the bridge was too low on a small road that it had taken me down due to traffic accident. Had I known I would not have come off the main route.

Many RVers won't use Waze because the low bridge feature is not there while other navigation apps do offer low bridge information.

Waze likes to route me in my Sprinter van to routes with low bridges because they may be a few minutes faster. This almost formed into a dangerous situation.

Would be extremely helpful. Without it, I am transitioning to alternate gps solutions.

Bonjour,
Est-ce que je peux choisir mon type de véhicule ? Pour éviter de me retrouver face à un endroit où je ne peux pas accéder.
Mon véhicule fait plus de 2 mètres de hauteur et je tracte une remorque qui fait 2,60 mètres de hauteur.
D’avance merci pour votre réponse
Bien à vous
Cordialement

I love the waze app. To be able to turn on /off low bridge restriction/alerts would be extremely useful.

This is not a commercial use issue, far too often someone has rented a Uhaul type truck to move their belongings and they get routed under a low bridge. A simple warning like the “Railroad Crossing” warning could let them know it is ahead so that they could pick a different route.

Both when driving an RV, the height of a tunnel or bridge would be useful and also when receiving deliveries - the delivery vehicles always go a route to our house that has a low bridge (14 feet) and get stuck and can't deliver our goods. Would be nice to have rerouting based on that.
