A segment of Airport road in Newark DE has been flooded 24/7 since March of this year, and will be unpassable indefinitely -- until the winter or the next drought or who knows exactly.

Last year, it was open nearly all summer, except after heavy rain, so who knows.

AltemusPrime reports that edits to the segment always seem to get "fixed", which must be pretty frustrating for him. He drives that way 1-2 times every month, so he is our best source of information on that section of road. He just disallowed "turns" through that segment and locked them at level 2.

-------
Here's what I propose:
1) Instead of disallowing "turns" through that segment, use time based restrictions in both directions every day, all day, every week, for all vehicle types, with a note about why
2) Create a report tagged [CLOSURE] with an explanation and a request not to close the report.
3) Ask AltemusPrime if he is willing to keep an eye on this, remove the restrictions and the report if it seems like the area is having a dry season, and put them back in place after the drought is over.
4) Should he ever want or need to move on from maintaining that portion of the waze map, he can just leave a new perma-report behind for the next interested editor. The situation would be no worse than it is now.

Is this a good idea? AltemusPrime -- are you willing?

------
Actually, I went ahead and did 1) and 2) already. If more experienced editors prefer a different approach, I'll be happy enough to repair the damage.
