Bump. Suggestion from talk on the discord today.
After enough construction warning votes it will generate a MP in WME.
Editors can set an approximate date for completion, but users driving through can confirm or lift it (or maybe it takes so many votes to lift based on the type of road).Spencer Mosher

Per conversation on the editors discord, it would be nice to have a black and orange dashed line which would indicate construction zones in Waze. This way drivers would get an alert and know to slow down if there are any speed restrictions. A temporary speed limit and lane closure information would be given to the user. Temporary lane restrictions would be only done by authorized users. Users of the app would be able to indicate construction zones similar to marking a road closure. If the construction is ongoing, a Waze editor could extend the timeline of it in the WME.

It can apply to people who are going to business complexes as well. For example, USAA in Phoenix has like 3 entrances. They have a main gate and delivery gate, etc... There is a benefit to it to specifically route people to one entrance or another. Or better example for a military bases. What entrance should visitors be routed to compared to military members and authorized persons.

My suggestion to better improve navigation in private communities is to code in restrictions for the road for resident / employee and guest only entrances and exits. This will allow the app to better navigate to the user to the correct entrance of the residential gated community or private business complex.
To make these edits, a user will go into the restrictions tab in the editor to add a guest or resident / employee entrance for particular gated community or business complex. These entrances and exits will be given the road type of private road. The user will have the ability to set specific times of day a guest entrances / exits are open. Example being you have a large private subdivision with 3 guest entrances. At night time 2 shut down and the primary one is only open. How does the user know which gate to navigate to if it's not coded into the map or if they do not know the community? By coding this feature into Waze, it improves navigation accuracy to private communities or business complexes.
In summary this feature will be used on business campuses and private subdivisions. It will also improve on how we draft these areas in the map. The current way of drafting these communities seems to be a workaround for a lack of this specific feature I've requested.

Ok not sure why my suggestion was merged with this one. My suggestion was not a "road closure". But a better visual for construction zones, the ability to add temporary speed limits for the construction zone and the ability to close lanes, which would show up on the navigation.
