Everybody should notice by now that Waze is keeping us in categories and segregated to different routes. We will be on a similar route although heading for a different destination. This is to keep road less busy rather than to avoid predicted heavy traffic. If you go through the setting, we can find “vehicle type” option to correctly select our vehicle type – Motorcycle, Car & Taxi”.

The combination of improvements developed by Waze enables us to avoid traffic & tolls altogether by selecting our desired route by defining vehicle type.
