Routing

Conventional routing software often includes a function to ask for the method to navigate around toll zones. You can choose between:

• Never route through toll zones
• Ask, if the preferred route would go through a toll zone.
• Alway navigate through toll zones

If the preferred route would go through several toll zones, the user shall be asked, which toll zones to allow or not (by type or by selecting/unselecting a from a list).

The routing software shall not mention toll zones that do not apply, i.e. if you have chosen a bycicle route, toll roads with no fee for bycicles shall not be treated as a toll zone.
