This is really getting beyond a joke now!!!! TOMTOM 6250 PRO has now blocked yet another MAJOR A road. If i was to follow the sat nav it was trying to take me on a 20 mile detour down country lanes. TOMTOM YOU REALLY NEED TO SORT THIS OUT. Its not only frustrating it is getting dangerous now!!!

UK. Chittering Road. Avonmouth Bristol. A403
TOMTOM Now shows as HGV Restriction. It is the main route for the industrial areas
UK Bath. Lower Bristol Road. A36. This is the ONLY route for a HGV through Bath.
UK Bath Again Batheaston Swainswick Bypass. South. A46 Again the ONLY main route.
The clue is in the name BYPASS!!!!
The list Goes on.
Reported one in Hillsea Portsmouth, over a year ago, Again a main route. TOMTOM trys to force you down a weight limit rather that the main road!! Still not sorted

Not sure why we use the Map Share to report faults for HGV weight limits, as they NEVER seem to get implemented.
20 Reports so far, going back to October last year, and although all listed as FIXED, not ONE has been fixed on the GO Expert or 6250.

@JULLIANC
Just checked MyDrive with those details with those details https://mydrive.tomtom.com/en_gb/#mode=routes+viewport=51.38031,-2.3911,18,0,-0+search={"input":"Chittening Road, Bristol, BS11 ENG, GBR","coords":[51.5283,-2.67593]}+routes={"departure":true,"traffic":true,"routeType":"FASTEST","travelMode":"TRUCK","vehicleParams":{"height":4.2,"length":17,"width":2.45,"weight":44000,"hazmat":[]},"points":["hw~51.38053,-2.39189~A~Lower Bristol Road, Twerton, Bath, BA2 1EZ ENG, GBR","hw~51.3804,-2.39054~A~Lower Bristol Road, Bath, BA2 1EN ENG, GBR"],"avoidCriteria":[]}+ver=3 and there is a short section of lower bristol road that is not possible to travel along
@Vikramk Can you check with the map team what the restriction are on this section0 -
@Niall @JULLIANC
There is a restricted height bridge of 11' 6" in the High Street (opposite the Weston Lock retail park) - it appears very likely that Tomtom has taken this height restriction and applied it incorrectly to the 'adjoining road', viz the Lower Bristol Road.
If you change the height of the Truck in MyDrive (PC) to less than 11' 6'' ( say 3.25 metres) the route is calculated as to be expected along the Lower Bristol Road........1 -
That is just crazy. It doesnt explain the other ones though. The A46 one is a dual carriage way with no restrictions anywhere near.
Tom Tom have some serious issues that needs sorting out quickly1
