Routing API v7 Developer's Guide

Country Specific Regulations

Country specific regulations often apply own classification of roads and associate individual sets of restrictions with each road class. Routing API v7 supports such administrative regulations through the Routing Zone feature. Supported administrative classes of roads are associated uniquely with persistent zone identifiers. To exclude roads of certain classes, the associated zone identifiers should be provided as values of the parameter excludeZones (see Calculate Route for details).

Currently supported schemes of administrative regulations are following:
  • Norma 12 in Mexico
  • BK in Sweden
The example below excludes roads of Norma 12 D and C classes (Mexican regulations):
&excludeZones=4294967288,4294967289

For supported administrative classes of roads, see the sections below.

Note: To obtain the zone identifier of a specific administrative class directly from the REST service, use the getroutingzones resource.
