==== Junctions and cross traffic ====

When adding a Real-Time Closure consider whether any cross traffic will be blocked as well.

Often in work zones and for special events (parades, 5K and 10K road races, marathons, half-marathons, festivals) cross traffic is not allowed at one or more junctions.

It has been observed that Waze will not route across a closed segment; however, it will route on to or off of a close segment to reach a destination on that segment. If traffic going across your Real-Time Closure must be blocked at a junction, you will need to close at least one of the cross street segments as well.
:* One-way cross street
::* Close the cross street s-in segment.
:::''This prevents traffic from routing through the junction and onto closed segments to reach a destination.''
:* Two-way cross street
::* Close both cross street s-in segments in both directions.
:::''Closing a single segment will allow routing across the juction to destinations on that segment.''
:* T-intersections
::* Close the cross street s-in segment in the direction approaching the junction.
:::''This is necessary only to stop routing to destinations on adjacent closed segments of the main closure.''
