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.

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!!

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.

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 .

Add restriction for thru traffic
The editor should offer a restriction against thru traffic. While standard guidance for these roads is to use "Private Road" type in the U.S., this road type is misleading, as many of these roads that prohibit thru traffic are in fact public roads.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focusing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.

Circulation restriction warning
I suggest you to add a warning reminding the drivers the restriction day for their cars. It would work as the "child warning", the driver would inform the system the day he/she cannot circulate with the car and in that day, the system would remind the driver while using waze on the specified day.

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.

Segment Restriction Schedules that don't require a year

Remove Install Age Restriction
Hi can you remove the age restriction for Downloading/ Installing/ using Waze.
I'm using Google family group to allow me to track my users / drivers.
Unfortunately it won't allow us to install Waze on the new Android phones.
It worked on our old phones.Please change your settings as I'm not sure why it would be a problem.
All the other map apps work like Google Maps, Roadloads, Tom tom etc
Obviously we prefer yours hence the email.Thanks

Restriction zones based on license plate
In Costa Rica Waze is probably the top GPS app, largely because we lack proper street names and numbers!
The capital city has a license plate access restriction system, where depending on your license plate, you cannot access the city center 1 day of the week. It would be amazing to have the ability to tell waze which day you cannot enter and for the app to design alternate routes for you.

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.

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

Allow Restriction Conditions for Workspaces; & Allow Areas to have Local Permit/Pass Types (IE: Student Parking, Staff Parking)
Certain Roadways are set as restricted due to having gates, or other access controlling systems in place. The Waze Engine ignores these roadways as far as I am aware, which can affect those who work in the area. I think it would be a cool feature to have the ability to allow Regional Restrictions, it would benefit large sites, such as Colleges, Gated Communities, and other high density areas with varying road restrictions.
I have attached two images of Restriction Concepts I have made within the Restriction Editor.
