Alert Suggestions. Especially "Both Lanes"

Post by OzGuy
Sometimes an alert effects both directions, but you can only choose My Lane or Other Lane. There is no option for Both Lanes.
Examples:
* Roadwork that has a road restricted to one direction at a time, controlled by a flagger.
* A police car checking speeds in both directions
* Traffic lights out

Also some things effect a general area, rather than a specific point, so it would be helpful if an event radius was available.
Examples:
* Weather - When is weather ever specific to one lane? this should be an event radius, since it effects both traffic directions, as well as surrounding areas.
* Street fairs, carnivals, etc where a whole block may be closed off

Alert Durations:
I am not sure how long alerts stick around, but it seems to be about an hour.
Sometimes you want to flag something more long term, like construction projects where a road may be closed or a bridge might be out, or the Sign Missing alert. Such alerts could be set to remain until someone presses the "Not Here" button.
Other times you may want to just have a short term alert, such as a police car that has someone pulled over. They are probably only going to be there 10 minutes or less.
So please give us something like a duration slider so we can specify a timeframe, with the default being the same as it is now.

Some suggestions for new alerts needed:
* Water On Road
* Road Closed
* Bridge Out
* Traffic Lights Out
