Do we really need 2 tags, maxgrossweight and grossweight? What is the difference? (3) Don't touch 'maxweight' definition: > Since we must assume that 'maxweight' (100,000 uses!) was used for gross > weight limits (e.g. signs with the lorry + weight) as well as for actual > weight limits (e.g. signs with weight number only) in the past, any attempt > to modify the tag retrospectively just causes chaos [the tag is somehow > broken or at least very imprecise]. > IMHO you can assume that maxweight is about the actual weight (this is for 4 years on the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:maxweight&oldid=358579), and ignore or better correct the few very recent pages that show the lorry+weight sign (AFAIK only 1 example on conditional tagging in the wiki). Obviously mappers that notice the problem will correct it, where grossweight (maxgrossweight) was intended but maxweight was tagged. Only gradual replacement by new & more precise tags and the recommendation > to use the new tags instead of the inaccurate 'maxweight' [deprecate > maxweight] makes sense. > -1, I'm against burning a well established and defined tag just because on one other recent wiki page there is a problem in the examples section.

The single vehicle is defined for maxweight. I'd stick with that. cheers, Martin >
