Map not avoiding restricted areas

For some reason Maps isn't acknowledging restricted areas where vehicles without a permit aren't permitted to travel. If there is an alternative road where there are no restrictions, why would it just not choose this? By trying to take me down some shortcut route which I didn't know was only for residents of that area, i've now got over £200 worth of penalties.

Apple maps changing route by itself Hello! How do I stop the maps from changing the route from my original selected one? I drive bulk trucks for work and often have to choose a specific route due to curvy mountain roads, inability to perform uturns, tight residential streets, etc. But maps constantly change it to the “fastest” or “best” route in it’s opinion. Which creates a hazard really because you have to adjust it while driving at that point. I also like to explore countryside on backroads and try to take a different road each time I travel, this feature is super frustrating! I use different gen iphones for work and personal life. This has been happening to me across all devices, several ios updates. So it’s not that. Someone, please, help. It’s driving me up the wall.

Apple maps giving wrong directions - how to give feedback? I use Apple maps rarely because it often gives me wrong directions. It tries to take me into one way streets, wants to make me turn left when it is illegal etc. On two trips through Zürich last weeks this happened each time. Very frustrating as the result is a long detour to get back on the route. I gave feedback on such an issue through the maps app quite a while back, but that request seems to have gone unnoticed. It's all good that Apple thinks it knows best where we should drive, but this suggestion of illegal behaviour is simply unacceptable. Does Apple have a feedback process (with feedback to the feedback giver) that allows to keep the maps up to date (as Apple obviously are not capable of doing this by themselves). Google seems to have a better grip on this. I am grateful for any suggestions.

The Maps app can only use the data that is provided, which may or may not include local restrictions. It is up to you, as the controller of the vehicle, to pay attention to and abide by local laws and restrictions.
