Road width restrictions
In Europe we often get width restrictions on certain roads. This could be added at Map edit level and integrated with navigation route planning and would need a new set of parameters in the vehicle details/settings that would determine if your vehicle can actually take advantage of routes which have width restrictions!!
i have been caught out several times in an oversize vehicle before!!

Add “Avoid Width Restrictions”
I’ve got a pretty big car and hate width restrictions when I’m driving through the rat race of London rushing to get to work.
If you can add “Avoid Width Restrictions” any road with a width restriction that would really help! Thanks !48 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Better navigation - height width weight
Please add three values to segments, maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight. All segments should default to 0.
Please add user settings of maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight. They should default to 0. The label should direct the user to enter their height/width in metres and weight in tonnes.
When reviewing a navigation route, check if there is a value of maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight exceeding 0. If there is a value, cross-check the users maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight is lower.
If the users value is higher than the segment value, disregard that segment as a navigation option.

width
I've been using Waze for numerous years now. Any option of caravan and trailer specifications to prevent narrow, unsuitable roads? I would be more than happy to pay a subscription as the maps are great.

Show Dirty roads with the same width as Street but with an irregular border
A lot of users are complaining about Dirty Roads visibility in small screens, this would fix it.

Cars with caravans
Could you do routes for cars and caravans. This should take into account the extra width and the difficulty in reversing along country lanes if you meet an oncoming vehicle

Vehicle options
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to have the possibility to add the settings of the vehicle. Like weight, width and length. So that I get a better navigation for the motorhome. As I am otherwise very satisfied with the program and would like to use it for all trips.
Kind regards

Hgv lorrys
I drive a hgv lorry and often satnavs and maps can lead you down a dodgy road with height width restrictions, weight limits. Could Waze have an option for hgv lorrys? Also including speed limits for hgv due to them being different from cars

Road restrictions
Entering this idea as the previous "Road width restrictions" idea is closed for votes as implemented, even though it is not. Probably why its been omitted for several years.
Have waze allow map editors to include road restrictions, including width, height, weight, vehicle type, time based and temporary.
Allow users to include vehicle specifics in their route options.
The existing implementation uses the vehicle registration, but that only works in some countries and not the UK which has a lot of such restrictions.
Other routing apps have these features.

add the vehicles from a online database
I think it would be interesting to add the vehicles from a online database, for example: Choose PRIVATE VEHICLE -> Ford-> Focus-> MK2 and that the data of that vehicle appears as dimensions of length, width and height, and that the height of a tunnel and if my truck is very high and will not go through the tunnel, let me know and make me an alternative route.

avoid a specified road would be a great feature.
It would be great if I could avoid a particular road I hate driving on the way home. Its not a toll or a dirt road, and I dont want to change my preferences just to avoid the same road , but I hate it. Its unlit, fast, narrow and has a really annoying junction and a big width restriction. I just want to tell Waze to never route that way. Id rather take 5 more minutes getting home .

Updates
Please consider updating your map data to:
• Mark and avoid width-restricted roads where appropriate
• Ensure speed limits are accurate and reflect recent borough-level change1 vote -
Single Lane with/without passing places
In the UK, we have a large number of narrow two way roads which are often only the width of a single vehicle. You can often meet oncoming traffic head-on with no easy way of passing unless one driver decides to reverse. Either that, or at best, you both end up with scratched paintwork.
Waze has no way of knowing which roads are narrow, so will often route along this type of road. Many of us would prefer to take a longer route to avoid this type of road.
I suggest that within WME we have a tickbox option of…

Integrate a bus and truck option
Add a bus option next to the already existing car, taxi and motorcycle option and let us adjust the weight, height, speed, width and length of the vehicle
Theres hardly any mainstream gps that has a function like this
Could also add a truck option

Hgv mode
I am new to the HGV industry and like many of us it costs a lot to own a satnav. Many of us use Waze and have done for many years it would be good to incorporate a HGV function mode into the app where you can create a profile and have HGV mode and this can help drivers going out buying satnavs and making the Waze app more effective for overall as it can be limited to just cars. HGV’s need to know height restrictions width restrictions and weight limits of roads but this would be a great added…

Support for dimensions and combinations such as caravans
I propose that Waze allows users to save multiple vehicles, each with their own dimensions, including height, width, and length. It should also be possible to add vehicle combinations, such as a car with a caravan or trailer, where the additional dimensions are automatically taken into account during route planning.
Users could then manually select the appropriate vehicle or combination before starting a trip, or Waze could automatically detect the vehicle via CarPlay or Android Auto.
It is essential that Waze takes infrastructure limitations into account—such as bridge heights, narrow roads, sharp turns, and low tunnels—so that any routes…
