Closed Roads in black versus Road in MRA in black

[MarcM]

It's almost impossible to see the difference of the black line of the route in MRA and the black line concerning the closed road, I have to zoom in to 50m, I discovered it almost accidentally .... Is it possible to change the color of the black line of the route (by user or by default)?

@MarcM no, but you can change the opacity using the toolkit

@Corjan-Meijerink said in Closed Roads in black versus Road in MRA in black:

@MarcM no, but you can change the opacity using the toolkit

Which is an incredibly useful thing to do, because it makes loops visible (they get more black of a route goes over the same part twice).

[MarcM]

@Corjan-Meijerink OK, thanks, that's a good solution

@Corjan-Meijerink Is there any plan to allow the customization of the color? Changing the opacity is just a partial solution IMHO, and black is still hard to see with satellite images.

BTW posting here a little bookmarklet to change the color as a temporary solution would be allowed?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@cvlmtg not within the near future, sorry.

@Corjan-Meijerink IMO changing the oppacity does not really help. I have set it to 80%, but if the scale is 1 km, I still don't see the blocked road:

Only when scale to 300 m, I see the black lines:

I really would appreciate if MRA shows blocked roads with a bold red-white or other clearly visible color scheme. Black near black does not make any sense IMO.

@FrankS The visibility of a closed road depends on the road itself, biger roads are seen at 2km zoom already. (see the road behind Blankenheim)
Your planned road is much smaller.

caught me out a couple of weeks ago, and took me ages to find why I could not navigate the route.
I still usually use Tom Tom for navigation and got a "no route" possible.
Turned out I had put a waypoint in the middle of a closed road.
