The wiki says maxspeed is for "the maximum speed that is allowed" (i.e. "allowed", not "suggested"). I'd be in favour of proposing a new tag, like maybe "maxspeed:suggested", or "suggestedmaxspeed". > maxspeed:children_present=25 mph > source:maxspeed_children_present=survey;image ... > I changed the ":" to "_", not being sure if we want to deal with multiple > levels of children. I would prefer source:maxspeed:children_present, i.e. keep it in the form: source:<key name>. I expect this would be easier to parse. > In CA, the standard speed limit on freeways is 65mph normally, but 55mph > for trucks and towing/towed vehicles.

If so, then 9 tags is fine - I don't see this as a reason to support the introduction of a *less explicit* scheme. > ...

I don't think so. What does the node represent - the sign? If so, tagging the node in this way seems to mean "the public are not allowed to use *this sign*". :P Tagging a node with access=* does, however, make sense for a gate (node). If you want to mark the presence of the sign, how about traffic_sign=*? (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_sign) > ... I can then tag > the way with source:access=* +source_ref:access=*. I'd prefer the *section of private way* to be marked as such using access=private. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
