...and there was much rejoicing.

Indeed!
We enabled toll roads in the US as well!

We would really appreciate your feedback about it!

Thanks,

Thank you sooooo much. I've been dreaming of this option over the past year. Testing the new feature shows complete toll avoidance, with Waze mimicking the route I typically take (avoiding the toll). Thank you Waze.

Toll roads doesn't work in Stockholm, Sweden. We have a system where toll roads are around downtown Stockholm with no other option than to go through the toll road to get downtown. With no other option available, Waze shows a "uh-uh" error when trying to calculate a route.

It works fine routing around the downtown area, where other streets are available to use but when there is no other solution than to go via a toll road it dowsn't work. Shouldn't Waze understand that and use a toll road anyway?

I've reported a related issue to the support, but maybe someone knows a better way to report bugs.

My case is not the same, but I'm sure it hits the same issue.

For each paid route, we have set the whole set of segments to toll road, including the freeways and ramps in and out. This is all good when one sets a route on the client and picks the default route (mind that if one picks "routes", the 2nd and 3rd route may contain tolls). But this is not the point.

Now I go and select the first option, toll-less route. But then I drive into the paid freeway.
What I would expect was a re-route where waze would try to make me leave the freeway on the next exit and then continue. looking at the map it kind of looks like it. but in practice it continues for the remaining of the segment and at the end of it (usually a junction with an entry or exit) it just says "you have reached your destination" and stops routing.

It kind of feels like it sees the current position, sees that there is no way to go anywhere without crossing a toll segment, and gives up.

This was some 4 or 5 weeks ago. Haven't tried again, and haven't got any reply from support, so I'm not gonna go drive a toll road just for the sake of trying it again.

anyway back to your point, if you route to downtown, you don't even get the "routes" options? you should get the 2nd and 3rd alternative with tolls, so it looks like an extra bug where if the first route itself is toll, the client barfs.

I don't get any options at all. All I get is the "uh-uh" message telling me it can't find any route.
If I turn of the avoid toll road option everything works fine.

You would probably be able to try this yourself by searching for "Lidingo, Sweden" (inside toll zone and gives uh-uh message) and "Solna, Sweden" (which is outside toll zone and works). These places are approx 10 km from each other.
