Another John formulated the question :
Typically, instead of asking the local paper to notify readers that "the
road from A to B will be closed for X from DD ...", they have taken an
advert in the form of a Public Notice, and stated the po-faced bare
facts: "the C123 will be closed from its junction with the U456 to its
junction with the U987".

If you type into GoogleEarths search box c123 it will find the road and
zoom into to it.


Er.... Is the OP in Costa Rica?

OP here -- No -- nor in India, or Mexico, which Googlemaps also came up
with :-D I'm in the beautiful North East of England: I have a
congenital (i.e. with the birth of the internet) dislike of putting
actual data out there unless it's required --- risibly pathetic, I know,
in these days of data clouds that talk to each other, but I'm an old dog.

So anyway: thank you very much one and all for the leads and the useful
information he it might be against the grain for an old dog to learn
new tricks, but you can never get enough of new "stuff". Thanks: I'll
be getting busy!
