Closures

We are currently updating the pages to include all regionally different guidelines. If you find inconsistencies, please refer to the English page. Thank you!

Closures

Real Time Closures (RTC) should be used when a road is temporarily unavailable. This is made visible in the app and Live map with alerts and candy stripes on the segments, so users are notified of the closures in real-time, and routing is prevented during the closure time on these segments.

The script WME Closure Details can be used to view Closure details on closures outside the editable area.

Users in the Waze app can mark an unexpected road closure they see while driving. Reliable requests become immediately active on the Waze map as a RTC and automatically shared with editors in the relevant Slack-channels: #closures-be, #closures-be-fr, #closures-nederland and #closures-lux.

Requests for closures within a week are welcome in these channels, others can be requested on Dutch forum closures and Belgium forum closures.

For defining special events for sets of closures see the Major Traffic Events page.

Information from GIPOD is used to provide information on closures in Flanders,
CCP-partner Wegstatus collects information from authorities in the Netherlands.
In some areas Security Regions manage RTCs.

For more information see the global page Real time closures.
