PS. OK yes, I know that the max speed data is used to calculate the fastest 
possible time. Just having a bit of fun here.

Wrong suggestion

more apt..

Rules don't apply

The speeds should be set to the real speed limits by law not a vague Traffic 
flow 
limitation imposed by Traffic (Jam) Enforcers... 

If I do 30KM/H will my garmin later report speeding? 

5KM per hour is walking speed, I do faster than that most of the time in 
Makati. (I walk everywhere in Makati..)

And my cycling speed is faster than most primary/secondary roads in Marikina :)

I agree that most of this speed limits isn't followed, but the default
road_speed (in the osm-ph map) is very inaccurate.  My route
simulation along NLEX is 230 kph! This why I demoted all speed in the
osm-ph garmin to below 90 kph (for now).

Hi,

Again apologies for somewhat off-topic garmin posts.

I have been reviewing estimated time of arrival (ETA) for garmin gps
routing.  I noticed that as Sehested reported, the speed calculation
is over-optimistic.  Due to the absence of complete maxspeed data in
PH streets, I have assigned default speed limits to streets in the
garmin map (not in the osm database).  I followed some of rally and
ianlopez's notes.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Ianlopez1115/Philippine_Tagging

Garminmaps has 8 speed levels:
#  7No speed limit
#  670 mph / 110 kmh
#  560 mph / 90 kmh
#  450 mph / 80 kmh
#  335 mph / 60 kmh
#  225 mph / 40 kmh
#  115 mph / 20 kmh
#  03 mph / 5 kmh

I assigned the speed limits 0-5 to osm-ph roads.  The assigned speed
limits for each highway type are the following:

highway=motorway road_speed=5
highway=motorway_link  road_class=3
highway=trunk road_speed=4
highway=trunk_link road_speed=2
highway=*  motorroad=yes road_speed=4
highway=primary road_speed=4
highway=primary_link  road_speed=1
highway=secondary road_speed=3
highway=secondary_link road_speed=1
highway=tertiary  road_speed=3
highway=tertiary_link road_speed=1
highway=minorroad_speed=2
highway=unclassified  road_speed=2
highway=pedestrian  area!=yes road_speed=0
highway=living_street  road_speed=1
highway=residential road_speed=2
highway=bridleway road_speed=0
highway=byway road_speed=0
highway=service  service=parking_aisle road_speed=1
highway=service road_speed=1
highway=cycleway  road_speed=1
highway=footway road_speed=0
highway=path  road_speed=1
highway=steps  road_speed=0
highway=track road_speed=1
highway=unsurfaced road_speed=1

Another important note is when there is a traffic_signal, speed is
reduced to one level down.  My limited testing showed better time
estimation.  For garmin users, please test some more and report if ETA
calculations are better or needs further improvement.

 Hi,
 I have now been using OSM to navigate around Metro Manila and a trip to 
 Mindoro and have some experience to share:
 On several occasions Garmin tried to guide me through on way streets going 
 counter flow
 The OSM maps keeps getting better and each time I find a missing oneway info 
 I just add it when I get home, so next time I will get the proper routing. So 
 that should take care of that problem.

 Some roads are not connected as having separate ending points
 Guess this is due to the editors we use that doesn't warn about this.
 When funny routings occur I make a note and correct the issue when I get back 
 to the computer.
 So time will solve this as well.

 Garmin routing times are overly optimistic as typical speed in Manila is 15 
 km/h and 20-40 km/h on SLEX
 Garmin often routes through narrow streets rather that using dedicated 
 through fares
 The main reason Garmin is unable to provide better routing is the lack of 
 maxspeed info for most roads.
 I suggest to add the maxspeed info for all roads according to the traffic 
 code RA4136 as follows:

 SPEED LIMIT

 Passengers

 Cars and Motorcycle

 Motor trucks and buses

 Open country roads, with no blinds corners not closely bordered by 
 habitations.

 80 km. per hour

 50 km. per hour

 Through streets or boulevards, clear of traffic, with no  blind corners, 
 when so designated.

 40 km. per hour

 30 km. per hour

 City and municipal streets, with light traffic, when not designated through 
 streets.

 30 km. per hour

 30 km. per hour

 Through crowded streets, approaching intersections at blind corners, 
 passing school zones, passing other vehicles which are stationery, or for 
 similar dangerous circumstances.

 20 km. per hour

 20 km. per hour


 Garmin is able to use the maxspeed info to calculate the fastest route and by 
 this automatically select roads with the higher speed limits.

 So I will advocate that maxspeed is added to all roads in the Philippines. 
 Until this happens Garmin will keep preferring roads WITHOUT speed limits as 
 is thinks they are the fastest.
 Happy mapping

I am in favor of adding maxspeed to roads whenever it is shown on the
ground either as street sign or a local legislation.  However, I am
wary with simply adding maxspeed following RA4136.

I am thinking of adding these default speedlimits to the garmin map,
however, I don't know how we can classify the roads according to the
law's definition.

Open country roads, with no blinds corners not closely bordered by
habitations.  Seems to vague for me.
