Towns should have a way of reporting problems with rerouting. In the case of many small towns intersecting two major highways, not all roads are appropriate for heavy traffic.

Towns should have a way to “prevent through traffic” on Waze, since Waze users totally blow off “no thru traffic” signs!

For example, small towns still using one lane bridges need to be able to prevent over use and over-weight; afternoon traffic blocking residential roads just because someone is trying to bypass an on-ramp; especially tricks using small town roads not equipped for big trucks and curbs, lawns, and lights all being ruined because drivers are attempting shortcuts.

I understand it can’t be a universal feature as then everyone will be using it in a “stay off my lawn!” function, but when towns are suffering traffic damage because an app is rerouting highway traffic through small roads, residential areas; when towns can prove this damage; when accident statistics climb so dramatically as to be frightening; when emergency vehicles cannot pass through routes because angry highway drivers are not obeying signs and laws; there should be a resource for the towns to reach out to these big GPS apps to block off certain routes.
