 Well, because those time conditions tend to have colons in
 
 You split based on the equal sign and it doesn't matter that the time 
 condition or key uses colons.

Read the proposal first, please. It requires that you add the condition
as _part_ of the key, for example

bicycle[10:00-18:00] = no

It has been suggested to add them to the value instead, but you will
always need to deal with substrings of either key or value string.

maxspeed per direction. What we call a Geschwindkeitstrichter in German -
the continues limiting of the maxspeed to a lower value e.g. 100/70/50 up to
a crossing. This is typically not reflected driving from the crossing where
only a maxspeed end sign basically is put up.

I also see ofter a limit in the inner lane in a corner but not on
the outer lane ... This can currently not really be modelled.

Probably a maxspeed:forward=50 + maxspeed:reverse=100
or something - How does this combine with wet and probably even
vehicle based limits ... maxspeed:forward:motorcycle=50

maxspeed:wet:forward:motorcycle=50

Afterwards add time based maxspeeds :)

I think we'd need a generic way to tag conditional ...

I've been setting maxspeed to the lowest value and then setting 
maxspeed:forward/maxspeed:backward if needed and for the direction of the way 
as applicable, this way at least you will be told the lower speed limit even if 
it isn't 100% applicable.

Not only in a corner. In Germany the A3, going down the Elzer Berg (near
Limburg an der Lahn in the eastward direction) has a speedlimit of 40 km/h on
the right lane and 100 km/h (or 120? haven't been there in two years) on the
left two lanes.
Speedlimit is imposed because of the steep gradient down and is meant to limit
the risk of runaway HGV's on the right lane.

So the correct wording is: there can only be one maxspeed per lane per
direction on a road.

Maarten

There are other roads that have variable limit speed signs and they can change 
at any time.

There is also changes in speed limits during peak hours.

There is also changes in speed limits during weather conditions like wet 
weather and fog.

The list goes on.

explicit speedlimits here as well, but Lennard was writing about
implicit speedlimits (in town=50 and the like). Those are not valid

most bikers don't get beyond 50km/h.

That's exactly why I talked about my jurisdiction (The Netherlands), which
doesn't have an implicit maxspeed for bicycles. It apparently never was a
real problem in law enforcement, or it would've likely been amended.

Exactly, it's a moot point, and I included it mostly to make the point
that there are so many subtle ways to handle maxspeed, that it would be
difficult to make an all-encompassing tagging scheme. At some point,
you'll just have to go with a generalized solution.

 That's no issue as it's 2 OSM-ways for the 2 directions of the
 motorway anyway.

It is an issue becasue the speed limit is on different lanes going in the same
direction.
I just checked and see that in OSM there is a speedlimit of 100 km/h on the
eastbound lanes. The speedlimit of 40 on the right of the three eastbound
lanes is not tagged.

Local situation is:
=
Cologne - Limburg
-
Cologne - Limburg
-
Cologne - Limburg
=
Cologne - Limburg (100)

Cologne - Limburg (100)
-
Cologne - Limburg  (40)

The general solution is maxspeed is the highest of the maxspeeds of all
classes of vehicle on that road.
See also the signs we have in continental europe when you enter a country:
there is usually a large sign specifying the maximum speeds on different roads
(within town, outside town, motorway). I have never seen a different sign for
mopeds, HGV's or vehicles with a caravan, it is always the maximum for all

In that case, your 100/100/40 example is easily collapsed into maxspeed=100.

Let's see ... Hey, that's the current tagging scheme, already! Why did we

Current GPSr's are only capable of knowing within 10m, most lanes are 2-3m, so 
any solution would have to take into account an easy way for information to be

Have you already participated in the syntax poll for
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Extended_conditions_for_access_tags
?

It's basically there to decide whether to use colons as in your example
or switch to something like maxspeed[wet][forward][motorcycle]. Why?
Well, because those time conditions tend to have colons in them, too
(such as 15:30-18:00), and because colons are usually used in situations
where the order of the substrings matters - which isn't the case for
conditions, maxspeed[motorcycle][wet][forward] would be exactly the same.

Once we have decided about this, that proposal can be voted on (and,
more importantly, used) and we *will* finally have a generic way to tag
conditions. Then we can discuss the lane problem again. ;)

no, you're wrong. It's the maxspeed for normal cars. Drivers of
different vehicles must inform themselves about local legislation when
driving in another country. For bicycles in Germany I can tell you
that general maxspeeds don't apply to them.

And obviously you're also not travelling to Poland, otherwise you
would have seen this sign:

Actually you don't have to, key values and key tags are stored independently of 
each other, writing it with an equal sign is simply a way of describing it and 
has nothing to do with how things are stored.
