Also important for routing systems is the "practical speed" for a road. Many country roads may have a high legal limit, but for reasons including width and curviness you may never achieve anywhere near that in practice. So maybe an additional explicit tag for the "effective speed for routing purposes"? That might also stop people getting directed up goat tracks: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1315762/White-van-man-airlifted-safety-satnav-sends-mountain.html I think this link was also posted earlier. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
