Well, where I live (Germany) we have a legal limit of 100 kph on roads outside of cities, motorways excluded. This legally applies even to small roads if there is no sign indicating a lower limit. On many roads you can achieve this speed, too. But on the other hand we have lots of narrow, twisty country roads where a normal driver does not go faster than 60 kph. In the Alps it is even more drastic. For estimating the time someone will probably need to drive along a road this information would be very helpful. Even if we introduce this tag, nobody is forced to ever use it. If you prefer to use the legal limit for your routing calculation that's just fine. I would not change any of the existing tags, which are all important as well. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
