I'm not sure if this sort of thing will be covered in Permanent Hazards development, but it would be very handy to be able to define an area polygon to which a hazard report would apply.
To me, the obvious application would be for prolonged construction zones where roads remain open but users ought to be made aware of an issue ahead.
How I see this working:
An editor would draw a polygon over the affected area and then choose a hazard type and add an optional comment to the polygon. It should be possible to define schedules and an expiry date.
In the client this could be rendered as a hazard bubble at every entrance to the polygon, possibly special shading on the segments, or the editor's polygon could be rendered directly on the map.
Any user comments or photos would be attached to the 2D hazard, and would be viewable by anyone presented with the hazard bubble or alerter.
Also, the ability for CCP partners to submit this type of object via feed should be considered.
