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====

1. Select a segment so that the name appears to the left of the map editor.
2. Select the yellow Add restrictions (Time Based Segment Restrictions) on the left panel when the segment is selected.
3. It will be Edit restrictions(#) if there is already a restriction(s) on the segment.

   

4. First restriction pop-up window appears

   

First pop-up screen

Toll

There are two ways to mark toll:

1. Toll attribute in bottom left corner of the first TBSR popup window
2. 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.

1. Check the toll road attribute in the bottom left corner of the popup box

   

2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Designating a segment as toll will prevent setting any vehicle type as toll-free.
5. 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)

1. 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.

   

2. 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.

1. 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".

   

2. Orange note in bottom left of Allowable restriction says "Other vehicles are restricted" (i.e. prohibited)

   

Selection of direction

1. First restriction pop-up window has three main items:
   • A > B
   • B > A
   • Two way
2. Select the appropriate direction for the restriction(s) to be entered.
3. Restrictions have three main Types

   

   • Allowable
   • Toll-free
   • Prohibited
4. Restriction Types are added as Lines under the applicable direction(s) of travel.

   

   • The picture to the right has three Lines of restrictions; one each of Allowed, Toll-free, and Prohibited
5. Restriction Lines contain Rules which are partially displayed in the Summary

1. • a) Private vehicles are allowed as tolled vehicles
   • b) Private vehicles that are HOV-2+ are allowed as toll-free vehicles
   • c) All vehicles are prohibited from 00-02
   • A user that selects avoid toll roads will not get routed here unless they signify that they are HOV-2+ (once HOV is pushed to production)
   • No user will be routed here from 00-02
2. Note
   • a) Each restriction Type on the first pop-up window is compared to other Types as an AND statement.
   • b) Each restriction Line on the second pop-up window (within the restriction Type) is compared to other lines in that restriction line as an OR statement.
   • c) Each restriction Rule within a single restriction Line is compared to other rules as an OR statement
