Just to this thread.
I left a comment for an intersection which only allows Taxi left turn. However, my waze app already configured as Private car. It still routes thru the left turn.

Is this vehicle restriction not working at all? Or just my application issue? Thanks.

Quite simple. Time based restriction on the segment(s), for all vehicle types, during 09-17.

But let me remind you that we still want the app to navigate local residents to this road even during times when it is prohibited to all vehicles. This road is still the same road like the one without time restrictions.

Hi @sketch
but what if segment is private certain times of the day and free at others. How are you going to map it. Can you take a look at this road, for example. Although I am not sure if these road signs are properly set.

Here is street closed to all vehicles for certain time. (look at Google Street View)

EDIT: fixed above link

Anyway, time restrictions are not what you want to use. Not logical at all, unless there are some time dependencies. If such roads do serve e.g. some hotels, then there have to be some exceptions from the absolute restriction, which are served in Waze by using a Private segment.

Otherwise the complete restriction road shield usage there is incorrect.

I understand what are you saying and why, and will follow your advice, because Waze works the way you say. But I still have one final question. How do we map roads that are closed for certain vehicle types, i.e. private cars, trucks, buses, public transportation etc (example). I think we use "time restrictions" feature to restrict certain vehicle types and allow others. So mapping a road prohibited to all vehicle types for all the time should be done by "time restriction". Does it make more sense now? Prohibitory traffic signs belong to one group and should be mapped the same way in Waze.

@foxitrot, Thank you for your answer. Just to make it more obvious, here is a link to another public road that is in reality pedestrian street prohibited to all vehicle types but it serves several hotels and shops. The most logical way is to map it with a time restriction for all vehicle types for all time, not as "pedestrian street" (which is not drivable) or private road (which is not in reality, or is it?).

P.S. I am not authorised to view the aforementioned forum thread.

The street is used by pedestrians but a car may drive though it to reach certain locations. Should I set "time restriction" on segments or should I simply disallow relevant junction arrows at both ends? Is the penalty for red arrow and time restriction the same?

Why don't you post a link to the road? From your description, it sounds like this is the specific function of a Private Street. Routing only if the start or end of the route is on the private segment.

Here is link to such road. I am saying that "All vehicles prohibited" is a restriction like other time restrictions, except that it affects all vehicles all the time. So it is logical streets prohibited to vehicles to be mapped with "time restriction" not with "private street" or "pedestrian street".

Does time restriction make road completely unroutable? Setting street to "private" doesn't reflect the reality in my opinion. Maybe we can use time restrictions on turns at segment ends.
