With the value "none"
For example on German Autobahnen, where you can drive as fast as you
want is "maxspeed=none" which is different from having maxspeed not set:
this means maxspeed is unknown or not tagged yet.

At present the string "none" is actually a value, the interpretation of which
is specific to the key "maxspeed" . Maybe we should promote it to the
equivalent of NULL in SQL.

I don't think so. Where do we need null values in OSM?
As you said, maxspeed=none means something like maxspeed=unlimited.
I can't think of any tag key which should be stored in OSM with a null value.
In what case would that add valud information compared to having no such tag ?

We probably don't need a true technical null value, you are right. But
if we introduce a formal method of defining defaults or implied values,
for example if highway=residential implies maxspeed=30 "unless tagged
otherwise", how can we tag "maxspeed is truly unknown, do not apply the
defaults"? Sur
Coming back to the lanes-example:
The turn:lanes tag is there to show what direction a lane turns (or,
akin to "map what's on the ground" principle: what arrows are drawn on
the road).
Say you have a junction in the motorway where three lanes continue and
two lanes turn off. I have seen situa

That's not my understanding. For example I worked on the conservation of:

What does "fen" means to you?
I've a fairly good idea what I think it means, and I'd never or almost never
tag it as a natural feature (though it may have a name, and the natural
features within it may have names).
I'm a native English speaker (though not native to a fenland area)..
Could you

Just a side note:
I'd assume that most of the major tags like highway=* never got
proposed nor voted on.
And seeing that maybe 30 to

The width is important as well. I have been on footpaths that slanted

The only "waste transfer stations" I am aware of in my area are
companies that empty garbage from huge "dumpster" garbage bins at
apartment complexes and businesses, then ship the garbage to landfills.
Unlike a scrapyard, there is no long-term storage involved.
