Hi Jasper, The amount is dependant on the type of vehicle euronorm, so you cannot even store this in OSM as it depends on external factors. It would be a bad idea, even if it wasn't as it is prone to change overtime. Glenn On 16-03-16 20:35, Jasper Michels wrote: > Thank you for the answer

ok, i agree. But as a side note. I predict the future. 30 year later, the databases of the OSM-community will run empty. (If you keep true to these rules) No more speed limit panes, no more street or place names,... All running around with our virtual glasses, and our semi automated cars.

The virtual glasses need a database (or many database) with all information they have to display. Those databases can be run by government, large corporations or communities. Furthermore OSM is used for more things than just (car) navigation. What if a real-estate site wants to show you all
