    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.

        users with good intent

        Oh right, it could easily be abused by traffic trolls. Didn’t cross my mind, sometimes my faith in other people are unreasonably high.

        Perhaps some sort of validation system, if two users report the same temporary hindrance? TBH I can’t be bothered to work out a fool-proof system for a hypothetical solution I doubt will ever be implemented hah.
