Road closed for indeterminate time period

Post by CBenson
What are we doing with roads that are closed due to the federal shutdown? Say roads in national parks that are used by commuters.

Are those commuter roads actually being closed?!

If we had the ability to immediately close it in the editor, then that. Otherwise, since we don't have that, we can use segment restrictions, which, of course, requires a tile build to take effect.

Some are, some aren't. Beach Drive is closed; Rock Creek Pkwy is open. (I wonder what lawyer came up with the rationale for that.)

Of course, the problem with restricting them in the editor is that we may not get much notice when they reopen.
