Crowdsourcing is nice but I’m not happy about the “don’t mark temporary hindrances” thing in OSM, some of them last for months and I can’t warn others. Sometimes I even forget the hindrance myself and feel real unsmart dumb.

That seems like a tricky one to moderate. I’m sure they are worried about things being set and forgotten and never repealed.

I understand why, but I also have examples of compromises;
- Set a marker, it expires after a certain timeperiod. Users “validate” that the hindrance is still there, resetting the timer.
- Set a marker, “Hindrance here at 2023-11-03”
-
- “Expected end”
-
-
- Today
-
-
-
- This week
-
-
-
- This month
-
-
-
- Later (Marked hindrance disappear some time after “Expected end” if no users validate that it’s still there, with new “Expected end”.
-
Just some thoughts.

That does seem like a good system for structuring things for users with good intent.
