Segment restrictions
The segment restriction method changed in 2017. Some attributes changed location in the editor and some new ones were added.
====Selecting a segment====
- Select a segment so that the name appears to the left of the map editor.
- Select the yellow Add restrictions (Time Based Segment Restrictions) on the left panel when the segment is selected.
- It will be Edit restrictions(#) if there is already a restriction(s) on the segment.
- First restriction pop-up window appears
First pop-up screen
Toll
There are two ways to mark toll:
- Toll attribute in bottom left corner of the first TBSR popup window
- Toll free restriction is enabled in second TBSR popup window
Toll attribute check box
The toll attribute check box has moved to the first pop-up window of a segment restriction. It used to be under the segment's road type.
- Check the toll road attribute in the bottom left corner of the popup box
- Mark a road segment as a toll segment only if the segment has a toll booth, transponder reader, or other tolling device and if no vehicles travel as toll free on that segment.
- Once a segment is marked as a toll segment then the toll attribute is displayed under the road segment name. You have to go to the TBSR to deselect the attribute.
- Designating a segment as toll will prevent setting any vehicle type as toll-free.
- Designating a two way segment with the toll attribute will designate both directions as a toll road. Designating a one way segment with the toll attribute will designate that direction as a toll road.
Toll by default (toll-free designation)
- If there are any vehicle types that are designated toll-free on the segment, then any allowed vehicle that is not designated as toll-free is assumed to pay a toll.
- Note the toll-free vehicle must also be listed in the allowed restrictions too.
If a vehicle type is not listed in the allowed section then Waze assumes it is prohibited and will not check for the vehicle’s toll-free designation. In short Waze thinks the vehicle type is prohibited and it can't be routed there as a toll free vehicle since it is prohibited. In the example above only private vehicles are allowed on the road segment as a toll road. Private vehicles that the user designates as HOV-2+ will be allowed to use the road toll free. All other vehicle types are prohibited.
If a vehicle type is designated as toll-free why doesn't Waze just recognize that they are allowed? There are notes in the restriction popup windows that impart this knowledge.
- Hover over the small blue lower case i in the toll-free restriction and a black box pop-up appears that says "Vehciles must also meet all of the "Allowed" restrictions".
- Orange note in bottom left of Allowable restriction says "Other vehicles are restricted" (i.e. prohibited)
