Major Construction Projects & Road Closures

Post by
Hi all Pennsylvania editors!

I wanted to create an official post where editors can post about long term road closures & construction projects currently in place that would impact the Waze Map. In most cases you should disconnect these segments to prevent Waze from routing along a certain stretch of road. You should NEVER delete a road simply because of construction or a closure. If you perform such steps in WME, please add CONST ZN to the end of the Street Name & document it here so other area managers can ensure the roads are reconnected at the appropriate time. Be sure to include in your post: a Permalink to the road, Road Name, Start Date, Est End Date, and any Links/Comments. There is also a Wiki page in place for this however posting here to the forum is the preferred method.

West Germantown Pike (King Of Prussia)

I have a report from a user claiming this section of Germantown Pike is close due to major construction
I looked on various website and can not find an official reference to back this up. Anyone know for sure.

When a road segment is closed, may I suggest placing a scheduled restriction on it for all hours and all vehicle types with an explanatory comment or URL rather than restricting turns (which can be undone by an inadvertent click)? Where appropriate, you can add a date range to the schedule.

A disconnected ramp shows up on another report, so the upcoming practice might be to lay down a restriction during construction. Regardless, for a short-term scheduled closure, a restriction has the advantages of not destroying the configuration of turns and automatically re-opening the road no later than the set date.

The new standard is better for the reasons given. CONST ZN is obsolete for sure because it produces TTS gibberish. There would have to be a really compelling reason not to change. No one came up with one.
