I agree that it makes more sense to have a separate tag for the weight limit. I would also not be surprised to find certain roads forbidden to trucks over a certain length, or forbidding trucks with tandem trailers, because the road in question doesn't have room for a vehicle that size to turn around.
we already have maxweight, and weight limits are common in these parts (i suspect the county is trying to make sure that fully loaded gravel trucks are limited to state highways). i just use maxweight where it's appropriate. the no trucks sign i saw yesterday in Schenectady (on Wendell Avenue) was clearly intended to prevent big trucks from using a quiet residential street as a shortcut. there was no posted weight limit on the sign. probably if the wiki entry for hgv were revised to reflect weight limits are per applicable ordinance that'd do the job. richard _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
