A road obstruction is anything that blocks traffic. It can be a construction site, a special event or a crisis that affects public safety. The obstruction may be planned by the City or by an external organization and can affect road network mobility.

​

Multiple construction sites, the number of participants and infrastructure density are the leading mobility issues. In this context, coordinating traffic obstructions is a major undertaking, only compounded by working in a dense urban area. The excessive traffic that results has major consequences and can become a real problem for government agencies.

​

Big or small, all towns are affected by road obstructions. Coordination, real-time monitoring and communication remain the key related issues. The active participants also vary from one city to another, depending on its size. OPA software is the answer to all these elements, because it directly contributes to smart city and smart mobility initiatives.

​

Construction, refurbishment and frequent urban infrastructure maintenance can cause long-term obstructions. Maintenance work takes less time and is often managed by municipal teams. 

Here are some examples of road network obstructions.
