<p>Finally got around to doing these changes. 10 ways were affected<br>
</p>
<p>The signs at Willow Tree and just out of Merriwa only say that
there is no access to the other town. I doesn't say where the
actual closure is, so I relied on my pre closure drive Mapillary
imagery.</p>
<p>I vaguely remember that dating a fixme for action is possible,
but I didn't do that, just described what happened and what has to
be done. Is there a way to cause some kind of auto prompt to
happen?</p>
<p>Tnx<br>

Either would be fine as far as I'm concerned. Both achieve the
primary objective of stopping routing engines from using this
road.<br>

<div>& would you also add noexit=yes to each end of the
blocked section?</div>

noexit isn't a tag I've used. According to <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:noexit"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:noexit</a>
"It must be ignored by routing (GPS)." - which means its use
shouldn't affect routing.<br>
<br>
Also, if you use access=private then noexit=yes is wrong because
"other modes can continue".<br>
<br>
If you are using a map checking tool which complains if it doesn't
have a noexit=yes tag then add it. Personally, I don't normally
add tags which have no practical effect on how I use the map, and
only affect a tool which: I haven't used, don't have experience
with, and therefore can't verify if I'm using the tag correctly.<br>

There will always be sources which require a subjective decision
on what is sufficiently verifiable to justify mapping it. Are the
two blokes beside you people who you know previously to be
reliable sources? Or are they the local drunks who are known to
tell tall tales?<br>
