About MapMonitorBot (formerly ClosureMonitor)
I have been developing a system that monitors feeds of road closures from Highways England, for both roadworks and incidents. It then applies them to WME with help from some champs (but gradually becoming autonomous). This is all done in (almost) real-time, and the closures are removed as soon as Highways says they are open again. I think this is more responsive than closures entered in advance.
You may come across such closures as you edit the map, and they will all be created or updated by a user called ClosureMonitor. While I believe that the Highways feeds are moderately accurate, there may be occasions when it is just wrong. If you see any reports or comments about such-and-such road not being closed, please send me a PM about it.
Update: We now monitor all closures for comments and update requests, and act on them as we can.
