Hi all,
Thanks for voting for this suggestion!
It will be integrated into the new Waze Chat feature, and is currently on the roadmap for a later phase.
We’ll be sure to update when we have a clearer picture of the timeline.

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.

I'm a heavy vehicle driver, and having a GPS that automatically avoids roads with weight limits, length limits etc. would be absolutely incredible.

Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.
Thanks!Elliot

I'm a truck driver, and there's a lot of roads I simply can't take in my truck. It would be excellent to have a vehicle type for Large Vehicles that avoids unsuitable roads.
This idea would require a lot of implementation and a lot of users adding data to the map. Map data required would be:
- Load / weight limits: Ability to mark a road as an unsuitable route for vehicles over a certain weight (i.e. 10 ton load limit, as many roads in my area are signposted) unless that road MUST be driven to reach the destination. This could also be used to set bridge load limits.
- Length limits: Some roads in my area are restricted to vehicles under a certain length (i.e. vehicles under 10m only) and cannot be driven on in larger vehicles, unless that road is unavoidable to reach the destination.
- Height limits: There are many low bridges in my area, and the ability to mark a place on a road as low clearance (i.e. 3.4m ) which must NOT be passed by a vehicle of greater height, would be excellent.
The vehicle selector would also need a new vehicle added. The "Large vehicle" selection would ideally have parameters you can set, these would be:
- Weight
- Length
- Height
- Speed limit
The first three items would be used to avoid roads with lower weight, length, or height limits than the vehicle (i.e. an 8 ton truck would still be allowed on a 10 ton limited road but a 16 ton truck would be given a different route)
The fourth item would be used to adjust ETAs and modify the speed limit display. This would ideally be customisable; In my country, vehicles over 4.5 ton are limited to 100km/h, with some larger trucks limited to 90. Cranes are generally limited to 80.
Additionally, rest areas could be marked with length or weight limits (Or simply marked "Truck Friendly" or "Truck Parking Available" to allow truck, caravan and RV drivers to plan suitable rest stops.
The addition of Heavy Vehicle Inspection Stations (both permanent and temporary - reportable) would be beneficial, but not essential.
The implementation of the vehicle type would in theory be fairly easy; the difficult and time consuming part will be gathering the user data for length, height and weight limits. I would suggest marking this feature as Beta until substantial data has been added by users.
Even in Beta this would be useful: A route that avoids some unsuitable roads is still better than a route that doesn't avoid any unsuitable roads.
