I would like to suggest adding a dedicated Truck Driver route option in Waze.
Many truck drivers rely on Waze because of its excellent real-time traffic updates and community reports. However, the current routing does not take truck-specific restrictions into account, such as:
Bridge height and weight limits
Road width restrictions
Hazardous material restrictions
Roads prohibited for trucks
Truck-specific speed limits
Preferred truck routes
It would be very useful if drivers could create a truck profile by entering details such as:
Vehicle height
Weight
Length
Width
Number of axles
Whether the vehicle is carrying hazardous materials
Waze could then calculate routes that avoid roads where the truck is not permitted while still benefiting from Waze's outstanding live traffic information and community alerts.
This feature would improve safety, reduce routing errors, and make Waze a more attractive navigation app for professional truck drivers and commercial fleets.
