Zero toll price not displayed in app

Post by atrophicshiner
When setting a price in the toll tool to be Zero, the app will show no price against the toll tag in the route panel, and the more info pop-up claims no price is available. When a Zero price is set the app should show £0.00 or Free.

Example route crosses the Mersey Gateway Bridge using the Mersey Flow Resident & Blue Badge pass (ID: merseyflowresident-uk)

This is likely to also be the case when a toll is only charged at certain times of the day / week.

It should be done with both (otherwise the non-zero price could be added on routes that include another toll road somewhere else), but apparently, like in Chile, it's not possible to add pass-based segment restrictions in the UK. The zero price has been set up for people with the permit merseyflowresident-uk.

I'd love to use the correct tool but we haven't been given access to passes in the restrictions tool.

I have already set the toll-free restriction for vehicle type. Using the Zero price is the only way to get a similar effect with a pass but this means the user still has to have avoid tolls switch off.

You should just leave the price blank or set as 0 in the price matrix.

I misunderstood your query.

Staff have asked for more examples of zero price for entry/exit mapping so you might be best emailing the toll price support team directly as there is no other way to map them as yet.

  • Function to increase all prices by a constant amount or percentage
  • Single section discount
  • Receiving an automatic email with segments that have been changed (split-merged) that involve toll roads
  • Map Stats: Ability for everyone to see what is already uploaded/saved as public on the map & maybe stats on number of segments mapped to the tool, roads uploaded per country
  • Launch WME view: From the playground tab create a button which would launch WME centered at the current center of the playground map. Something like "Launch WME for Current View” → I just want to clarify that you can currently see the WME toll segments by clicking “ Show Waze Toll Segments for current view”
  • Logging in with your Waze account in toll tool
  • Zero-dollar toll for entry/exit combination → please send us specific examples
  • Huge interconnected networks (i.e.: France) → We are working with communities to try to understand the challenges better. If your country has one of those huge interconnected networks you don’t know how to map, please let us know
  • When reversing the polyline for the other direction, checking via "draw" it is not visible which direction it is.
  • Reservation required (for ferries) - It would be nice to be able to display “reservation required” next to a toll price.

Yes, and in that case, the app doesn't show any price, that is exactly the reason why this topic was opened.

The restriction will allow for routing to be done during toll free time but since the price is not associated with the actual routing, I agree that you should be able to show "free" or "$0.00" for the price when the price may be free.

Zero toll should be defined with Toll free restriction and not with toll price utility.
