TrafficCast closure requests

Post by codgerd
TrafficCast MPs have started popping up where they think there are ongoing closures. Can we use our best judgment about whether to follow up on such requests?

Example: This MP on Stephen's St, Vancouver. It's a real closure, but Stephens is not an arterial road, and only gets very local traffic. I would not ordinarily send in a closure request for this type of closure (unless it generated a UR), because the only wazers likely to be routed on Stephens are those actually going to Stephens i.e. it will not affect through traffic.

Any issues with just exercising ones judgment about the necessity to put in these closures?

Cheers

Okay, will do. Both MPs from TrafficCast currently on the map are legitimate closures, so I will add them both. Thanks for the advice.

If the closure is legitimate, I'd put it in, regardless of the "importance" of the road. I've been on wild chases through neighbourhoods because one segment was closed and it wasn't published anywhere.

If the closure is NOT legitimate, close it ASAP so we don't get an automated closure created.
