UK toll prices released to Production

Post by atrophicshiner
From today, 16th September, the app should now display toll prices alongside any route using a toll road in the UK. If you are signed up for a TAG or Account for a local toll road / bridge then you can select the appropriate pass within the app and the toll prices should reflect the relevant discount, this also applies to the vehicle type you have chosen.

Passes and prices have no influence on routing, adding a pass for a toll will not make the routing servers prefer that route. You must still use the avoid tolls navigation setting in the app to be routed on non-toll routes. NB: This is with the exception of the London C Charge Exempt and London ULEZ Compliant as these passes do affect your routing in the central London area. More detail on dedicated forum thread.

You can see the list of mapped tolls in the UK Wazeopedia, and you will find any segment associated with a toll price now covered by a Map Comment and locked to L5, this is to prevent breaking the toll price function.

Please use this thread to report any errors you encounter with this feature, or if you know of a new toll route being opening, prices being changed, or even removed.

There are some minor toll roads that are yet to have their prices added, we hope to include these soon. The feature may also include inland ferry prices in the future.

EDIT: Currently this is restricted to Beta testers only.

I am aware there is an flaw if a toll has a zero price, all zero price tolls should actually be mapped using a toll-free restriction, but the UK WME doesn't fully support this yet... I am working to get this changed.

As of Monday 25th November, toll prices should now be visible to all users following initial testing. Please have a play and let us know if you find anything unusual. There are a few things to be aware of;
  • Toll prices do not display when using 'add a stop'.
  • Tolls that are free for motorcycles will act as a normal road, routes will not show the toll tag or price
  • If you add the Mersey Flow Exempt or Durham CCZ Exempt pass these should also not show the toll tag or price
  • The app will not show a zero (£0.00) price, I'm still working on how better to map these scenarios.
To remind all that London CCZ & ULEZ are not part of the toll pricing at this time.

The list shown in this article is just wrong, I am unaware if the list was provided by Waze or made by The Express but some are wrong, some are no longer toll roads, some are not included. We were not asked to provide or approve a list of mapped toll roads.

Please see the linked in the first post, in Wazeopedia. This will be updated as we add / improve.

@Ian, I had noted that UR, it is a road we have listed in the 'to add' list. Will be added in the next 'update' of UK toll pricing.

@Kevin, I've had a play with the way the Dartford Crossing and might know the issue, can you PM me with the some specific details, start, end, day, time, if you still get no price shown.

Based on the fact your screenshot shows the time being 21:55 you won't reach the toll until after it becomes toll-free... this is where I think the issue is. It shouldn't show a toll tag at all, at the moment it is trying to show £0.00 but HQ haven't allowed this function. I have adjusted the toll-free mapping so it should work correctly, be treated as an untolled road, tile update willing. Fingers crossed.

Would you mind testing again so that your journey passes through the toll between 6am & 10pm.
