I consider speed limit traffic signs as a duplicate information except for those how are interested by traffic signs, not by speed limits already tagged on the highway segments. The key information is too vague and fits only for the tagging on nodes. Some might prefere to tag the way, a group of ways or even use a relation for that. Personnally, I like better a adop_a_highway=yes or adop_a_highway=organization, with a single key. Keep it simple.

Though not said in the Wiki page ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_sign ), I generally think of a traffic sign as something which is meant to influence your driving behavior in some way, such as speed limit or city limit (the latter indicating that the laws governing your driving might just have changed). Maybe I'm over interpreting the key. --ceyockey not necessarily. but it does set a pattern for how signs facing traffic are done. perhaps information_sign= and use name= instead of organization= mind you i still don't understand the use case for the data and and think this is likely to be a bunch of information that never gets maintained properly. richard ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
