<p>On unpaved roads - they can close at any time there is rain. Some
mine sites also close access roads with rain, some locals think
thye close them way too often. <br>
</p>
<p>There are also councils that close roads - placing signs on them
where accessible from paved roads. Some of the councils have fines
of $1,000 per axle, seems a bit unfair to motor cycles - 2 axle,
compared to a 4WD - 2 axle. A road train on the other hand!!! <br>
</p>

</p>
<p>Unfortunately common sense looks to be a lot less common as time
goes bye. A map is an indication, what you find/see is the present
truth. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Back in 1990, Cyclone Joy (note to BOM - please
check names first!!!) hit central Queensland and as the water
washed down the catchments, roads closed and then reopened at
various times. The coastal highway reopened about 22 days after
closing with traffic using a single lane. The year before had
been relatively quiet compared.
<div><br>
</div>
<div> During this, we were told by locals naaah - don't worry
'bout the runway mate, it never floods. The next morning 25%
of it had disappeared under the wet stuff and lost our
emergency airdrop aircraft as they were all parked there and
couldn't take off. Things can take a dramatic turn very
quickly</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> The key issue is that we have main roads where there
maybe the dynamic ability to close roads but perhaps after the
event and then we have councils which do not normally and have
more pressing issues. Routing in the outback is probably not
real-time due to lack of mobile coverage and the roads are
still displayed.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> The city dweller, finding that the Highway is unpassable
may still choose the route less travelled called "Nine Creeks
Road" and not suspect there is a reason why no one else is on
that road. Commonsense is not something we can distil. The
access conditional is good but has to be on all roads outside
towns for this to work.</div>

<p>A further thought,</p>
<p>Tagging permissions that open the road in certain
times, rather than close them, could also lead to
better outcomes with less sophisticated routing
software/offline connections.</p>
