I came to the opinion that a maxspeed tag didn't really capture a school zone, even with complex time restrictions. Possibly it makes more sense to keep using restriction=school_zone but as others have pointed out, probably nothing reads these. I know some brands of car GPS devices can warn you

Nick, That sign makes too much common sense. If adopted in NSW, they would need to put ankle bracelets on all children so the speed cameras sense a child's proximity. Let's not give them any ideas. :-) BJ On 24/08/2012, at 7:25 AM, Nick Hocking wrote: Ben wrote Does anyone else

Just to eat my own dog food, I went out this afternoon and mapped out as many school zones in the Gympie area that I could fit in, still a couple of school zones I'll have to get to. Since maxspeed doesn't render I doubt this would have any effect on anything, but I mapped things out as much

Judging by the tagwatch site it's pretty hit and miss about the whole affair. Just like maxspeed is important, I think time based zoning is just as important, if not more so. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do this that could be put into a proposal? I was thinking
