Hi Gerd, According to the OSM wiki, highway=construction means that the road is closed. construction=minor with the other highway tags unchanged means that the road is still open. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:construction
For minor road-works (where the road in question remains open), use construction=minor (and don't use highway=construction, but leave it at its default value).
So I still think that disabling routing or making access=destination would be the best option. Do you have any further thoughts? It's ok if you disagree, I can always change it my style. :) Thanks, Ben On Sun, Oct 11, 2015 at 12:00 PM, Gerd Petermann < gpetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com> wrote:
Hi Ben,
quite difficult. My understanding is that a road should have something like access=no if the construction work means that the road is closed. If the road is open for traffic it probably means something like surface=unpaved and descreased maxspeed, but not access=no . So, I'd rather add "set upaved=yes" to the rule.

Hi,
A while ago a user reported that they were being routed through a closed highway. The highway in question was marked as highway=construction. What's the best way to ensure that you don't get routed through the path that's created in the default style when a way is marked as highway=construction? I'm not able to test this easily because the highway is now back in service.
I've attached a patch that adds access=no to the highway=construction rule. Is this a good way to prevent routing through highway=construction roads?
Thanks, Ben
