When I floated this in the forum, they said to just flag the road as closed. It'll route people around it, and then when the train passes and people start using the road again, it'll automatically lift the closure.

I don't know if that's the best way to do it (I hope there's no penalty against me for reporting a closure that's quickly lifted), and I'd love if it would automatically know I'm sitting near a crossing and pop up "We've detected a slowdown, are you waiting for a train?" like it does for the traffic thing.

Bonus points if it would automatically "close" adjacent crossings, since trains tend to travel through them in sequence....

It would be great if you could alert others when trains are blocking railroad crossings.

One thing that should be added for the traffic issues is when it is a driver or specific vehicle that is at fault. For example: people driving under the speed limit or slow-moving construction vehicles. When you're behind them, it might not be bad traffic yet, but it has a ripple effect. Also, showing a stop for trains or train crossings would help.

I'd like if there is an option to enable alerts for railroad level crossings, with a special option for those without barriers.
Of course should be updated map editing too, to allow to insert these kind of crossings.

How about a way of reporting traffic being caused by train passing or a bridge up?

There's nothing to indicate when a train is blocking a roadway.

My area has trains that cross the roads and it can take a decent amount of time for them to go their way. It would be great to be able to report these.

An option to report trains and train traffic.
