Allow closure overlapping
Hi,
very often I am notified of an event that needs closure after it started, then I go to select the many segments that must be closed.
When I want to add a proper closure on them, there are already dozen of closure made by drivers and I have to remove all of them one by one before adding mine. That's annoying because it is slow, and sometimes new closure are made by drivers while I am removing them :
And overlapping closure are not a real problem because when it is done by waze app it happens often so it seems it is a check added by WME that lead only to bad ergonomy.

Hey!
Thank you for the suggestion.
In order to check this suggestion, we would like you to share some more examples with us.
We aim to get the understanding of how often this is an issue.
Best,
Hezi.

Here is an example:
There is a long-term closure already in place on several segments of a highway, but which has not yet started. Call it 23:00 on a given day and lasting several months.
A new closure is to be put in place for installation of warning signs, etc., say 19:00-05:00 next day. This closure includes one of the segments which already has the closure mentioned above, but also several others.
Since it overlapping closures are not allowed, the entire new closure cannot be placed, and there is no easy way to figure out what the issue is without looking at all the individual segments. Once you've done that, you either have to make a partial closure 19:00-22:59 to avoid overlap, or reduce the size of the new closure so there are no overlapping segments. Either way, it adds complexity and work.

Hello,
I think I have an example:
We are 01/24/2021
a car race for 01/26/2021 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. closes a section of the road, I put the closure, it's OK.In the meantime, I learned, on 25/01 for example, that there is a winter closure for 1 week on the road which partly passes on the way to the race, which the closure now begins and the car race is maintained ( even happy that there is snow ^^)
There I get "Road Closure time is overlapped -103"
I must then for a few segments, pay attention to the closures and resume the closures before and after the passage of the race.
But if the race passes several times in the same place ... It starts to be difficult to manage ^^I add with if by bad luck, the weather is not snow ... Thus the authorities consider that the winter closure must be removed and if it is not the same editor who managed all the closures of the race, the road will be open to traffic for the race ...
Good story, understandable? : - /
Best regards
