Road Directions Optimization – Avoid Toll Roads and Highways

Route4Me provides multiple route optimization settings that allow you to apply extra layers of time and distance constraints to your multi stop routes. You can plan routes that will be optimized for the shortest possible traveling time or the shortest distance while avoiding or allowing particular road types like paid toll roads and highways. Optimizing your routes to avoid tolls and highways while also applying other advanced driving direction constraints enables you to plan multi stop routes with your current fleet of vehicles, the skills of your drivers, as well as fleet capacity and availability.

To plan routes with the Directions optimization constraints, first, go to Plan New Route from the navigation menu. Next, select one of the preferred route data import methods (Interactive Map Editor, Copy-and-Paste, Upload a File, Import Data, or Upload Scan(s)).

Avoid Tolls Completely

To plan and optimize the routes that will avoid all types of toll roads, including toll bridges and toll tunnels, select the Avoid tolls completely option from the Highways and tolls drop-down list in the Directions tab.

The routes that are optimized with the Avoid tolls completely constraint use the most optimal and efficient roads and highways while avoiding all types of public or private paid toll roads (turnpikes or tollways).

Avoid Highways Completely

To plan and optimize the routes that will avoid all types of highways, select the Avoid highways completely option from the Highways and tolls drop-down list in the Directions tab.

The routes that are optimized with the Avoid highways completely constraint use the most optimal and efficient roads while avoiding all types of public or private highways (controlled-access highways, arterial roads, state highways, etc.).

Avoid Highways and Avoid Tolls Completely

To plan and optimize the routes that will avoid all types of highways and toll roads, select the Avoid highways and tolls completely option from the Highways and tolls drop-down list in the Directions tab.

The routes that are optimized with the Avoid highways and tolls completely constraint use the most optimal and efficient roads while avoiding all types of public or private highways and toll roads.

To plan and optimize the routes that will use all types of roads (including highways and tolls), select the No Restrictions option from the Highways and tolls drop-down list in the Directions tab.

The routes that are optimized with the No Restrictions constraint use the most optimal and efficient roads that can include all types of public or private highways and tolls.
