How to disable low emission zone notifications in Maps?

Low emission zone notifications in Maps block the view of the map and are difficult to dismiss. They are unpractical, distractive and disruptive for one who's driving. 

I live in Italy, where there are thousands of this zone, usually blocking only heavy vehicle traffic.

On my route to work, I have to cross at least 4 zones and using Maps became genuinely impossible!

They would be great if they could be customizable for your own vehicle but right now it's a “feature” that prevents the use of this app at all.

Some cities have multiple zones and get a notification for each one of them, with a restricted view for 30 seconds or more it's an absurdity

Same issue here in netherlands. I get the notification everyday while driving back home into the low emission zone and it automatically zooms out the map, so I loose visibility on the next directions/route. I would prefer a less invasive notification but the best would be to be able to accept a zone once and for all like "Don't notify me again for this zone". Then the zone can still be shown when approaching but it should be not invasive and should not require action on the screen.

Thank you !

I live in cologne and also have this problem. It’s so irrelevant and also distracting. When I drive 150 km/h on the highway and this message pops up, man that’s no fun. What really concerns me tho is that Apple hasn’t had the idea yet that this might be dangerous and could potentially lead to lethal accidents. I hope someone from Apple is reading this and I hope they step back from releasing a new phone every year and go back to make things almost to perfection. There are so many software things that aren’t working how they should and that is just sad…
