# WaypointOptimizationAvoidanceOptions
<a name="API_WaypointOptimizationAvoidanceOptions"></a>

Specifies options for areas to avoid. This is a best-effort avoidance setting, meaning the router will try to honor the avoidance preferences but may still include restricted areas if no feasible alternative route exists. If avoidance options are not followed, the response will indicate that the avoidance criteria were violated.
