As we are now using the Road Closure Form for reporting construction closures, I think the last bulleted item in the introduction of the Partial restrictions wiki article needs to be edited. The part I think needs editing attention is shown below in red.
If you decide to make the introduction reference the Road Closure Form (USA) , then I think both parts of the article should hyperlink to the Road Closure Form (USA) to minimize the "hunting" for the link the wiki reader needs to do.
Further down in the same article, it statesA partial restriction prevents some, but not all, traffic from making a turn, or from using a road in one or both directions. Partial restrictions may be scheduled restrictions (time-based restrictions), block certain vehicle types (e.g., truck restrictions) or both.
The typical use cases are:
- *dedicated public transit (bus) lanes
*turn restrictions during heavy traffic periods (e.g., rush or commute hours)
*directionality changes to accommodate heavier flow on a bridge or tunnel in one direction in the morning and the other direction in the evening
*seasonal road closures, gates, moveable bridges and ferry lanes
*short term construction (long term closures should use disconnected roads, though time restrictions may be used to synchronize the start or end of the closure period)
These two parts seem contradictory. If we are still suggesting to disconnect roads for NON-USA editors in this wiki article, then the wiki article needs to be revamped to give different instructions for USA and for NON-USA editors.Disconnect road segments - Road segments should only be physically disconnected if the road is no longer intended to connect or is being permanently removed. In the past, this method was used for longer term construction projects, but now the Road Closure form should be used.
If you decide to make the introduction reference the Road Closure Form (USA) , then I think both parts of the article should hyperlink to the Road Closure Form (USA) to minimize the "hunting" for the link the wiki reader needs to do.
