I think that the legal maximum speed is an useful information even if routing speed is available, so using maxspeed for the latter doesn't look like a good idea. BTW, instead of adding just the maximum routing speed, it could possibly be useful to tag something like avg_speed:(rush_hour|off_hours|night_hours|...)=n traffic:(rush_hour|off_hours|night_hours|...)=[a time/date range] -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' homepage: http://www.trueelena.org _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
