Road Closures can be used to maintain a comprehensive inventory of road closures and share authoritative closures with leading consumer mapping applications.
Road closures are typically caused by construction, special events, or emergency incidents occurring in a community and they can have a significant impact on the public's daily routines and travel plans. If a road is closed unexpectedly, it can cause delays, detours, and inconvenience for drivers, pedestrians, and public transportation. In some cases, road closures may also impact emergency services, such as ambulance or fire services. Current road closure information helps these agencies provide efficient and effective services.
Understanding where road closures are planned can help the public plan alternate routes or adjust their schedules accordingly. This can save time, reduce stress, and minimize disruptions in daily lives. Sharing road closures with the public can improve public safety by alerting drivers to potential hazards that may require them to slow down or take a different route. Additionally, joining Esri's Community Maps program and registering to contribute your road closure data makes it easy for the public to access official road closures on consumer mapping applications they already use.
