How to get vehicleHeight limit between every two points on Maps Route

Ariel 1

Hi,

I want to get the vehicleHeight limit between every two points on each leg on each route on Maps Route polyline.
I did not find anything according to the following API:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/route/get-route-directions
Is there a way to do that?

Thanks

Hi Ariel-4846,

The API works with you giving the height of the vehicle and then is chooses a route that will work so all limits on that route are higher than the vehicle height.

Yes, I know that, but this is not the functionality I need. I need the height limit on each part of the road.
Is there a way to do that?
Thank you for your quick answer.

Hi Ariel-4846,

You asked about the Routes API so that is the explanation I gave. I am not sure I know of any API that would do what you want but each state does define their own maximum height limits and road restrictions that impact commercial vehicle routes. There is a third party site ( https://www.heavyhaul.net/trucking-legal-height-limits-map/ ) that gives you an idea so it is not really the height limit that factors in a route choice but also what cargo is allowed, on what days in what areas. There are also state designated rules on the types of vehicles weights & trailer types.
