[Tagging] Variable max speed corridors

2011-12-29 Thread Martijn van Exel
Variable max speed corridors are nothing new for Europe, but they
apparently are a novelty for the US.
Is there an established tagging convention for this?

For this area, the maxspeed will never be over 50 mph, so I don't see a
reason to change the existing maxspeed.

There's been one in Orlando for several years. I tagged it with the 
maximum possible speed and added a note.

I saw some along I-80 in Wyoming. I believe they lower the speed based
on weather conditions. Unfortunately I don't think I actually tagged
it but this is certainly useful information. I would agree that
maxspeed=* should be left alone and another specific tag should be
used. Perhaps the tag value could contain the reason for the
variability? So maxspeed:variable=weather/traffic_volume/time_of_day
or of course the aforementioned yes as a default value.
