I can see no record of any road closures by Highways England for M1 J14 this week. That's not to say it didn't happen, just that Highways didn't tell us about it.

I did apply to Traffic Scotland for their DatexII service, but they said they were already taking to Waze about a partnership.

Note: ClosureMonitor is offline until further notice, until I rewrite it to fit with Waze's official closure feed mechanism. Hopefully it'll be back up and running by the end of this month...

Closure Monitor is beginning to work again, though there are some teething troubles to iron out over the next few days...

Closure Monitor is working fairly well at the moment, but is let down by Waze such that around half of the closures need to be applied manually. A handful of us try to get those manual closures in as soon as they're confirmed, but sometimes we get a little behind.

Waiting on Waze devs to get back from holiday so they can fix their side of the system...

There was no recorded closure for that segment on Friday night. i.e. no request from Highways.

However, the M60 ACW was closed between 1am and 8am. Wazer may have been routed to A57 junction without going onto main carriageway.

Can't see any evidence of any closures there since Dec 1st.

Closure monitor has been closing these slip roads when Highways confirms that they really are closed. Only one was confirmed as closed on Friday night (8pm to 5am).

The data we get from Highways England has this as an "unconfirmed roadworks", so it has not been applied automatically. A UR from local driver counts as confirmation, so good job adding that in manually. We'll keep an eye on it...

Not so much an issue as a design choice by Waze. Closures by WazeFeed don't get added to segment history, probably because they're not being applied through the editor.
