Blocked Road function

[Ravira43]

I don’t get the idea behind the blocked road function.

As I get it right, you can select to avoid “Blocked Roads” but the only options are (500m, 2km and 5km).
This does not make any sense to me.

Maybe someone can explain it to me.

Wouldn’t it be better to select (maybe via checkbox) to avoid blocked roads always? Maybe with a feature where I can report blocked roads when I find one (obviously with some must fill in conditions - like till when the road is blocked)

I just hate it when Kurviger tells me (in the middle of the navigation) to take a road which is blocked and I can’t do anything to avoid it.

Help is appreciated.

This function applies to navigation: calculate a new route avoiding the blocked section.
For more details see the manual.

Regarding an on / off option for closed roads, this applies to route planning.
(if you search the forum, there are already many requests)

Closed Roads

It would be great if you could simply mark streets when there are blocked due to road works (as with Tomtom) and the app would reschedule the route to the the next point. Often, road closures are not known in advance because they are daytime construction sites. You can do it manually without any problems, but automatic would be much more comfortable. Best Regards

Handling Closed Roads / Umgang mit gesperrten Straßen

This topic discusses the handling of closed roads. Road closures are currently shown like this: [Screenshot from 2020-11-14 09-46-31] Before: Kurviger’s default behavior was, that if the access could not be determined, we rather block a road than allow the access. Now: Since we can visualize road closures, we could accept roads where the access is not guaranteed. This would reduce a lot of the friction that regularly happens (like barriers with undefined access rules, ferries, etc.).
