good points, I should have written traffic_information=* instead of information=*
I also like the idea to separate advisory traffic signs from others, presuming that the laws are clear about this. We have several different tags like highway=distance_sign, highway=rock_slide, highway=motorway_sign etc. on nodes which are probably all informational traffic signs. Maybe we should move this discussion to the "More human readable values for traffic sings" thread? Gerd ________________________________ Von: johnw <jo...@mac.com> Gesendet: Montag, 2.

I think the first group is not a traffic_sign=*, it is information=* Considering the sign is purely for motorist, not tourists, I think it is still very much a traffic sign. But traffic_sign has no framework for non-law signs. no one is going to go find this sign to check something - it is only relevant information for passing motorists. A rest stop with a map of the area and tourist pamphlets is most certainly information=* There are all kinds of non-speed road condition traffic signs - slippery when wet, beware falling rock, warning animal crossing (deer boar, monkey, and Tanuki in Japan), and other static traffic signs we would see on a motorway, but I don't think anyone would put them in information=* - these matrix signs are the same thing, but updated to show current conditions. They are still very much traffic signs. Perhaps traffic_sign:advisory=* needs to be made. Those signs I mentioned are not in the wiki, nor are the common temperature signs found on roadways in the mountains (which seem to be very different from the information=* ones. these matrix displays can go in there too. Traffic_sign:advisory=digital_signboard (no acronyms). Something like that. and the rest of the advisory signs can have a home too, for the micromappers. Javbw
