Best Practice for seasonal roads
Posted: Fri Aug 08, 2014 9:26 pm
In the NWT there are a fair number of seasonal roads. These are only open during the winter and provide either sole access or alternate access to some towns.
You can see one here: https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... 447&zoom=1
The Dettah Ice Road.
I've placed restrictions on it which work, routing to Dettah is going by Hwy 4 right now. And during the winter the routing should come over the ice road. The question I have is: Are restrictions the best way to do this? Or should I be putting in road closure requests each year instead? Or disconnecting the road during the off-season? There are a large number of these road and it could get tedious to have to be putting in forms every year or disconnect and re-connect the roads each year.
Thanks,
Sam
