Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

There are GPS apps available for heavy vehicle drivers, but quite frankly, they just don't cut the mustard. User would be able to enter the approximate weight, height, and number of axles of the vehicle. That way, Waze will make us avoid roads that have heavy vehicle restrictions, bridges that have weight restriction, as well as roads with low bridges over them.

I would like to see a "Class of Vehicle" setting so that Waze would allow us to take advantage of these exeptions if we're driving the appropriate type of vehicle.

An error occurred while saving the comment YamDigger commentedAs a school bus driver, you can appreciate that safety isn't just important to me: Its EVERYTHING!!! I would like to see a "safe dropoff" option which would plan my route in such a way that I arrive on the same side of the street as my destination. That way my passengers will not have to cross the street. This feature would be usefull to cabbies and Uber drivers as well

Perhaps what Waze could do is release a separate app called Waze Heavy Vehicle or something like that, for us heavy vehicle drivers. I would happily pay for a heavy vehicle version of Waze. Come on Waze: Take my my money!
On a side note, keep in mind that allot of young software programers nowadays don't even have a driver's license much less have they driven a heavy / commercial class vehicle for them to appreciate the unique challenges that come with it. I honestly get the feeling this thread is being ignored.
