We need some proper international rules for those temporary closures, and
better tags that are actually supported. The problem now is that you for
example put an access=no on a road that's closed for a month, and during that
month someone else makes a dump of the data and now that dump will have an
inaccessible road until a new dump is made, maybe several months later. Or
worse, someone forgets to remove the tags when the road has opened again and
then it stays like that until someone happens upon it.
Personally I refrain from tagging temporarily blocked roads unless it takes
longer than half a year or so. But a proper solution should really come from
the international community if we want something that's supported across
different applications.
