This was discussed intensely some time ago for maxheight, I suggest you read the archives on this. I agree that a physical restriction is as important or maybe even more important then a legal one but that does not mean you have to use the wrong tag for it. Simply use width (which is a physical description) as all others in this thread have pointed out. You could also use maxwidth:physical if there is a reason to do so (say in your country there is signs for this, like it appears to be for maxheight:physical in some countries). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
