Congestion Charge Zone (Traffic Zone)

Post by BehnamNHappy
Hi All,
It's a while that I am studying how I can active this zone in Tehran to get the best result.
I nearly finalized what is the best solution in my mind. but before I make my derision I need experts opinions in this matter.

For whom are not local users let me 1st describe the situation:
these 2 zones

We have 2 special traffic zones in Tehran. you can see it bellow:
http://trafficcontrol.tehran.ir/portals ... rh95.5.jpg

The Blue Zone:
Only buses, Taxis, Ambulances, and special cars that are registered can access this zone.

The Red Zone:
Red zone which is bigger & around Blue zone have the same situation but private cars also can access this zone:
- Private car That last number of their plate are even can enter Red zone free in Saturdays, Mondays & Wednesdays.
- Private cars that last number of their plate are odd can enter Red zone free in Sundays, Tuesdays & Thursdays.
- In weekends (Fridays) & all holidays will be free for all.

These zones are made because they want to reduce too high traffic & air pollution in the heart of Tehran.

Entering private cars will cost about 11$ of each day. But always it is not possible for private cars to pay the change and enter. in days that pollution goes bad.entering private cars are restricted totally.

I hope I could describe the situation clearly.
If any thing is unclear please ask.

I didn't find same situation in other cities if any one knows & what they did about this matter in Waze please tell us. (I know london have nearly same zone az blue one).

WAITING for WAZE team to enable "Avoid Toll" option in the app...

I think Santiago in Chile has a situation similar to this, but the restrictions are dynamic, based in the smog forecast.
I don't know if they found a solution

Thanks all for your ideas.
1st let me tell you that if private cars pay the charge they can access both zones, so I think if I use restrictions for blue zone then app don't route through there at all.
I think using toll on entrance segments is best solution for blue zone.
regarding this matter since I knew London have nearly same zone as blue one I take a look at London's map, I liked the way they did:
Please take a look at these two segments
one segments it restricted, because I don't have access to that segment I can't see how they set restrictions, but I guess private cars are restricted on working days.
the other parallel segment is toll.
so what will happen in this scenario:
when destination is in the blue zone:
-if you choose your car as taxi in the app then it will route through restricted segment.
- if you choose private car and it is weekend then app route though restricted segment.
- if you choose private car and it is work day then app route through toll segment and announce it has charge.


Destination is out of the blue zone but enter the blue zone will shorten the travel time what will happen?
I think it will be like this but I am not sure:
- taxi will enter blue zone without any problem through restricted segment.
- private car in weekends also route though blue zone.
- if avoid motorways option is off in the app: private cars in work days will pass though blue zone & indicating toll road.
- if avoid motorways option is on in the app: private cars in work days will not pass blue zone & will route to destination without passing blue zone but longer trip.

- if destination is in blue zone & avoid motorways option is on in the app: private cars in work days......(what will happen?) :)

if I am missing something I will be happy to hear about it.
still thinking about red zone solution.

Hi,
I made a sample to for CCZ on the map, hereit is.

I tried get route from point A to B. there is many routes between these 2 points & one of the good routes will cross that ramp which I added restriction & toll road.
when I check routes on "Route Speeds" Script every thing works OK & as soon as I enable avoid toll in script it wont route trough that ramp any more & show me different routes, but the problem is when I try the same situation on app it will route trough the toll road even if I turn on avoid motorways! it also show me 2 more alternate routes but do not ignore the toll ramp.
I tried to get route between 2 cities & avoid motorways worked OK, I don't understand why this option don't work for this toll ramp!

From reading this it sounds like you are using avoid toll with the script but avoid freeways on the app. Why don't you also use avoid toll on the app?
Yes exactly, it's because I thought avoid motorways in app works as avoid toll. As you can see in below screenshot I only have avoid motorways option:

Sorry a big mistake from me since here all freeways have toll and when I enable this option it avoid them I thought this option works as avoid toll also.

I tried that and debug mode enabled but still I don't have avoid toll option :(
What should we do now?!

I am proud to announce that the Congestion Charge Zone of Tehran is now Finished. :)
It was a massive work since many segments needs fixed like oneways & deadends & street names. and them began to add rules for CCZ.
I learned 2 other editors (FBSuuny00 & Sorrowthr84) & started the job.
East & South side of the Zone done by these 2 editors (Thanks to them) and north & west side done by me.
waiting for feedback from users to fix errors if there is for next week.

we started Second CCZ in Tehran (CCZ Red) with local team.
In This zone we use ferries as we have "avoid ferries" in the app.
