I’m wondering if it makes sense to include the Woolwich Ferry in the map. The mapping software assumes it is a road and will not add sufficient delay for the journey time. I believe that the Blackwall Tunnel is faster for many journeys. Also the Ferry has different levels of service throughout the day with NO SERVICE at night. Any thoughts on this?

Hi,
I would leave it. It does exist after all. Just because Waze is unable (as yet) to understnd what a ferry is is not our fault. It is just one more thing that Waze need to do to make the program more operable (along with all those other things they need to do!).
Jeez… Even TomTom and others can understand what a ferry is!

Could Toll it for now so it’s only given as an option. Not much else can be done without waze implementing the features.

The Woolwich Ferry is marked as a Toll road, and there’s an option in the client to Avoid Toll Roads.
For longer journeys, there is an alternative route available (see manual about accessing alternate routes)
If that isn’t enough to prevent routing across it, then we could make it a Private Road too. It will then (almost) never get suggested as a route, until you are actually on the ferry.
But it should be an option, and at times is a good one. I think it’s user settings causing problems here it isn’t the map. The time it takes across will be taken into account since the ferry will follow the “road” across the Thames in waze. Averages etc at different times during the day will allow waze to determine if you are better off waiting for it.
