True; I was tempted to amend my sentence to note the physical/legal nuance, but decided against it for the sake of clarity. In most cases, physical and legal maxheight are pretty much the same. My main point was that what is signposted on the bridge is just a "nice to have hint" from the mapper's point of view. What matters is the actual legal/physical limitation. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
