Hi folk,
I'm a mapper from Italy since 2008 but registered to this list only
now, mainly to post this. Some mappers, apparently from the US, are
using the key source:maxspeed to add metadata (the way the data was
collected and/or the source of the data) to the database.
Unfortunately this tag is

I have used source:maxspeed=sign to indicate collection from a physical
speed limit sign during a survey, and agree with Ian that the previously
cited cases are an acceptable use of source:maxspeed.
This is not the only case where multiple tagging schemes are used; it's one
of the joys of
Part of the issue here is how some countries in Europe sign speed
limits. For example when you cross the border into Austria, there is a
huge sign that lists what all the default speed limits are for various
types of roads. They expect you to remember this. Local speed limit
signs are only posted

Here in the U.S. such implicit speed limits are fairly rare except
within cities where most residential roads are assumed to be 30 mph.
All highways here are explicitly signed with the applicable speed
limit so the established use of the source:maxspeed
Exact same situation in Michigan where end speed limit signs are
frequently used when leaving a small town. Our 55 mph limit applies to all
secondary roads as well as state roads. Rarely do you see a speed limit
sign on these secondary roads and speed limit signs on state roads are
