Legal routes for a given truck weight

Implement Using: Directions Flexible API

Directions Flexible API allows configuring the truck weight when making a request so that the routes returned are safe and legal for the given route to travel on. truck_weight parameter is used to eliminate routes which pass through roads with an allowed weight threshold lower than the given weight. For this request, we configure:

• origin & destination to to denote the starting and end locations of the trip
• mode set to “truck” to get a route which a car can take
• truck_weight parameter set with the actual weight of the truck
• option set to “flexible”
