Dear Yoanna Y LO,

Thanks for the reply. I have tried to use the route planning function and it does shows vehicle limitation on the suggested route.

Is it possible for it to recommend alternative route for learner drivers to bypass those "Prohibited public roads for learner driver"? Thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Kelvin Wong
