[talk-au] Information source question - sorry kind of lengthy.

[Kim Oldfield]

What I'll often do is map what I can verify in person and is useful to 
others, even if it isn't complete.

In this situation, the practical use to most others is that the road 
should no longer be routeable for through trips. If you know one end of 
the closure then update a short section of road there with access=no. 
This achieves the main objective of stopping OSM from routing along the 
way. The exact location of the other end of the closure can be added by 
any mapper at a later date when they survey where it is. Why it is 
closed, and how long it is closed for (which may not be accurately 
known) are good to add in a note or description.
