Suggestion: Introduce Dimension‑Based Vehicle Restrictions for Japan and Asia
Hello Waze Team,
There is a fundamental difference between how road restrictions are represented in Western countries and in Asia.
In many Western regions, vehicle types and Passes are sufficient to represent most restrictions.
However, in Japan and other parts of Asia, many restrictions are based on physical vehicle dimensions rather than vehicle categories.
In Japan, the following restrictions are especially common:
Height limits
Width limits
Weight limits
These cannot be fully represented by vehicle type categories or Passes alone.
Additionally, many incidents involving large vehicles getting stuck are caused by the length of the vehicle.
If Waze could also handle vehicle length, support for trucks and large vehicles would improve significantly.
For these reasons, allowing roads to be configured with height, width, weight, and length,
and enabling users to input their vehicle dimensions in the app,
would provide a more stable and globally consistent solution while also addressing the unique road conditions in Asia.
I hope this issue can be an opportunity to consider introducing a dimension‑based restriction model.
