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

[Bob Cameron]

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

- There are indeed numerous sources that say the road is closed, for 
more than one year.
- To avoid routing yes I could pick a likely spot and make in Access:No
- Livetraffic also have a text view that is end points specific, so any 
Google Maps issue are probably moot.
- The problem is if I want to do the job properly I would like to place 
the road barrier locations. When I went through the road was open only 
at specific times and I have the barrier locations on Mapillary. I doubt 
they would move the barriers as they had done extensive work on turning 
(around) circles and the like.
- I would use the Mapillary image points initially then check any 
wording on the signage in the next week.

I have never mapped closed roads before, but since it is supposedly 
temporary I think Access:No with a date action fix_me that described 
why, what and when to review. I would suspect perhaps half a dozen ways 
are affected so a cross ref in the fix_me might be prudent. To make it 
obvious to downstream users I am thinking "- section closed for repair" 
suffix the highway name. I would appreciate a consensus on this from the 
list. (3 field changes per way)

Yes work crew access may need "private" but as it stands I believe the 
slip gap is quite wide and usual vehicle access not possible. "No exit" 
is similarly cloudy.

I am happy to leave it in a "providing as much info as possible" state, 
if need be.
