As far as I know, variable speed limits tend to be used in areas prone to heavy congestion, so routing applications should probably assume it's a slow road (at least during the daytime). Information about typical speeds is what's probably really wanted for routing, anyway, but that's harder to find and probably more prone to change. __John _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
