Roadblocking

[Frank 8h]

I have a problem thatvarious street blockings are not considered (there is a few I discovered last weekend which should be closed for long time.....).

Google maps shows them all. I read something of lists with POIs for such blockings. Is that the only work around? And if so, where do i get such a list?

The traffic overlay does not show them at all.

I have also streets in my area that are closed since years and will never open again - they are shown as open and can be used for routing.

That's nice and I did that for 2 streets, but honestly: there is so many roads that are currently closed due to weather (vosgues) and they show as open. Google maps shows as closed.

For seasonal closures, you can choose 'Disable seasonal closures' from the menu. Here will not incorporate such changes. Only streets that for example no longer exist or have changed direction can be reported there.

@Rob-Verhoeff Well, this doesn't change anything. I'm new into MRA but I expected to have better traffic data as advertised. rest seems really good. But closed roads are such a pain when you can't reach your destination without driving 2 hours more than expected....

@Frank-8h, No one will ever offer better traffic information than Google. They monitor Android phones and can conclude from the absence of traffic that the road is closed. All others are dependent on local governments to submit data about road closures.

The anecdote about this is that someone gathered all phones from friends and family, put it in a shopping cart and walked down the street. In about 5 minutes the road showed as jammed on Google Maps

But closed roads are such a pain when you can't reach your destination without driving 2 hours more than expected....

Must be one heck of a hefty road closure then...

Well, maybe a bit exxagerated. But when I consider last weekend we even didn't reach our destination as expected.
