The reason I ask is because today coming up from Phoenix we hit a backup caused by a wreck and a Car-B-Q. Once we cleared it, we stopped at Sunset point to use the bathroom and then all of a sudden, I-17 was showing closed from Sunset Point north. But traffic was still flowing. So I hit up AZ DOT via Messenger (they are actually very responsive) and asked if it was closed. They said No, so I took a screen shot of Google Maps showing it was closed until 7pm tonight. AZ DOT said they don't have any input as to what is shown on navigation apps.So who does? I know traffic is crowd sourced, but someone has to "close" a road. Just always assumed it was the state DOT.
