Are these things imported from OSM or does Kurviger have any influence on the description? It would make more sense, e.g., “Closure from Oberkirchen towards Winterberg” ---

As far as I know, Kurviger currently cannot correctly interpret directional road closures. Technically 100% correct, but not in a way that makes sense to a human. Kurviger only looks at the closed section, not at the neighboring towns. So, just the info you can see in the screenshot. Based on the OSM data, Kurviger interprets “closed” and the time period according to the OSM data. “Backwards” becomes “opposite direction”. However, if you know that “opposite direction” refers to the direction of the road as drawn by the OSM mapper, then the info is useless. The mapper could just as easily have drawn it the other way around. The drawn direction isn’t visible in Kurviger. A case like this was recently discussed, unfortunately I can’t find it anymore. Clarity was achieved back then through a change in the OSM data (note field?). If anyone finds it, please link it — thanks. 💗 ---

Outsmarted by the AI. That also explains the little hiccups when an AI is told never, ever to hack other systems. Again. Tricky, because now I’d have to write the opposite. ![Screenshot_20260927_083731](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/3X/6/3/63f3a81d61089333e70f30c8328c5298aaff04c5.jpeg) New [change record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/189616052).
