I disagree with just using a number, the tags are there to indicate that the mapper had interpreted the speed limit from the type of road. Should the limits change they make finding the limits that require changes easier. The number should be tagged, and I would not expect a data consumer to use

There are several differences in my view: 1. When viewing the map offline, the user wants to see only rural roads when zooming out really far. 2. If you don't have maxspeed for a particular way, a clever app that knows typical speeds for each type of way in each country can make a more educated

No. One of the characteristics of a roundabout is that you have precedence when you are in it. In this case there is a main road that has precedence over the two minor roads. If you want to turn left (looking in the direction of the photo) you have to yield to oncoming traffic coming from the

IMHO I think that the main idea in the concept of roundabout is that the center of the cycle (which may not be a perfect circle, sometimes not even an ellipse) has right of way over entering traffic. That's why I find it weird when: - Croatian (and perhaps some other) authorities apply the
