Home » Route Planner Guide » The Difference between Travel Modes
There are several Travel Modes available with MyRouteOnline Route Planner.
The default mode of travel is Driving but these are all the options you can use*:
Routes are calculated using toll free roads. This was usually done via the MyRoute app, during navigation process but now available during the route planning process as well.
Size and Weight Restrictions: Routes are calculated to avoid roads with weight limits, bridge heights, or narrow passages that trucks cannot safely navigate.
Truck-Specific Roads: Routes may prioritize roads designated for truck traffic.
Turn Restrictions: Routes consider restrictions on large vehicle turns.
Toll Roads: Toll costs and truck-specific toll rates may be factored in.
Bus Lanes: Routes may prioritize bus lanes to optimize travel time.
Stop Locations: Routes are designed to include designated bus stops or service locations.
Passenger Capacity: Routes may consider passenger capacity and accessibility requirements.
Low bridge clearance: Like trucks, busses can be very tall, so low bridge clearance is important.
Routes are calculated as the crow flies, meaning the direct, straight-line distance between points without considering roads, obstacles, or terrain.
