Website: Improved Display of Conditionally Closed Roads

Any updates on this topic?

I already gave my opinion partially in another thread (B87 Vollsperre - #5 by t00thl355), but this appears to be the right place.

For me, there are (at least) two cases that can be handled differently:

  1. Reactive: when I press “Navigate” (or “export”) and one or more conditional road closures are active (or could be active soon), the user should be asked, if the route should be recalculated avoiding the road closures. This would help in ad-hoc situations, where you do not have time to do a detailed review and would not like to waste more time ending up on a closed road.

  2. Preventive: if the route is planned days/weeks/months in advance, for each road closure, the user should be able to select checkboxes “ignore” or “avoid” and the route should be planned accordingly. This would help to avoid distraction by closures where you can decide in advance if they will affect you or not. A different solution with a similar effect (proposed above) would be if the user could enter the intended starting date and time for a route. Then the active closures could be removed automatically.
