I was reviewing the wiki for road closures and it has me totally confused right now. There is a roadway in my area that will remain closed for many months due to construction in the area. I am not sure how to have the tagging reflect this correctly using the iD in browser editor. The segment I am referring to is located in the screenshot. I have added in the construction area that is underway.

It's somewhat left to local discretion. Advantages of marking temporary closures:
Disadvantages of marking temporary closures:
My own rule was that I wouldn't mark temporary closure unless it was planned to be longer than a year, but I am reducing that time to less than a month since hearing of OSMAnd users' experiences. 2

The wiki is a bit of a mess here. The closest I can find is "motor_vehicle:conditional=no @ (2018 May 22-2018 Oct 7)" from the page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conditional_restrictions. It seems there is also a resurrection of the temporary proposal, but nothing has been decided yet. |
