I feel like I must be missing something because the following potential solutions seem obvious to me:
- Mark a street as "No thru traffic," or charge tolls (via video camera) to vehicles not registered in the neighborhood and not stopping on the street.
- Suspend the driver's license of anyone using Waze, and use that as negotiating leverage with Waze to give edit access to city planners.
What's preventing local/state government from doing so?

- Aloha 7y agoLarge annoying Speed bumps are a better solution for the first one, the app will route people even if it's marked as not thru. The second one is unethical at best, and would certainly require changes to state law - in addition to being somewhat unenforceable.

- geofft 7y agoWhy? It's legal to suspend the license of someone using a cell phone at all, is it not? Saying "You can use cell phones, but only if ___" seems at least as legal.

The fact that actions have consequences and the consequences for those actions fall somewhere on the spectrum between needing to find a new job after the next election cycle and getting tarred and feathered. We live in a democracy. The people get what they want even if it's not what the "experts" like and/or non-optimal. People don't to deal with draconian state micromanagement of their route choice.
