Limerick Tunnel Routing - Reddit Post

Hey Ireland community,
I just wanted to share this post on the r/Waze Reddit which complains about usual routing approaching the Limerick Tunnel. I’m not sure if this is a mapping problem (such as uneven toll penalties) or the recent routing problem we’ve noticed occurring worldwide.

The user says they have “avoid tolls” disabled, but even so, it should matter if there are tolls on both the direct route and the detour route.

Waze is trying to send me on a +5min detour just to avoid the toll, however theres also a toll on that slip road.

Hi @nzahn1,

Thanks for posting this here. We had a look at the mapping around the tolls, both roads are marked as tolled sections, and we’ve confirmed in the Toll tool that both tolls are correct. I’d have to put this down to the recent routing problems we’ve been seeing as everything looks correct on our end.

I’ve driven through here multiple times and never seen that behaviour. I even tried it with Avoid Tolls turned on and it told me there was no available route [once in the tunnel] which is correct. I suspect this doesn’t have anything to do with the tolls, and is possibly just the weird routing issue giving a correct but not optimal route.
