Both?  Construction=minor can be pretty much any long-term project where
the road isn't completely closed, but does tend to be inconvenient at best,
and in full-size and larger vehicles, especially dangerous as the temporary
traffic controls may be reducing lane widths to something too narrow to fit
down.  Perhaps by vehicle type as well, when I was a truck driver I used to
absolutely dread construction on Oklahoma's backroads, as this would often
make for an especially tight fit (ie, rubbing tires on the edge of the road
or bridge on one side, and on the other, actually pushing bollards stuck to
the pavement outwards as the trailer rubbed past them) and I would gladly
take a 80-100km detour to avoid 1km of construction like that and the
inevitable delays resulting.

I like this concept; seems like this would avoid construction unless it is
especially burdensome, at least for for car and bicycle modes.
