Real Time Closures

Real Time Closures (RTC) worden gebruikt wanneer een weg tijdelijk afgesloten is. Geplaatste closures / afsluitingen zijn direct actief. Vanaf het moment dat een closure actief is, worden er geen routes meer over de afgesloten segmenten gegeven. Actieve closures worden in de app en op de Live map aangegeven met candy stripes (rood-witte strepen) op de afgesloten segmenten.

De duur van een closure is maximaal 6 maanden. Het is mogelijk om een extra afsluiting aan te geven voor nog eens 6 maanden.

Het script WME Closure Details kan gebruikt worden om Closure details weer te geven, ook bij afsluitingen buiten je bewerkbare gebied. Het script WME Advanced Closures is handig bij periodieke en geimporteerde closures.

App gebruikers kunnen 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, via the closures bot with editors in the Slack-channel: #closures-nederland.

The date an App closure is entered is used as startdate of the closure. App closures are almost always one-way closures.
To change the end date of an App closure: delete the App closure and create of a new one.

Closures can be set by editors with Level 3 and above and by the members of the Closure team.
Requests for closures within one or two days are welcome in the Slack closure channels, others can be requested on our forum: Dutch forum closures

Please enter your requests as follows:

Example closure request

• Level
• City and optionally Street name
• Starting date and time / End date and time
• Closure reason / description
• A permalink of the segment to close
• Source of the closure information

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

CCP-partner Wegstatus collects information from authorities in the Netherlands. This information can be used to define planned and real time road closures in Waze.
In some areas Security Regions manage RTC's.

For more information see the global page Real time closures.

Traffic through closure

If a certain amount of traffic passes through a road with an active closure, this closure might disappear. This is checked every 10 minutes. If there is no traffic anymore the closure will return untill the closure end time. This feature is disabled if HOV/Service Road adjacent is checked.

Node closures
If you want to prevent traffic routed through the junction between closed segments you can use node closures. On the bottom of the closure screen you see the Nodes Closed screen. The screen indicates whether the nodes involved are open or closed and allows you to change the state of these nodes by flipping the switch. When a node is closed, you’ll also see an indicator symbol on the map on the closed junction.
