Hi! As the usage of maxspeed:variable continues to increase, I would like to draw your attention again to its proposal: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Dynamic_maxspeed
In my opinion maxspeed:variable is far superior to maxspeed=signals as it provides not only the information that the speed limit is variable, but additionally: * what is the maximum possible(!) speed limit * what is the reason(!) for the variable speed limit I consider both potentially valuable information to data consumers. Example: On motorways in Austria the speed limit is usually 130 km/h. Motorways which cross larger cities however have often variable speed limits and quite often with a maximum speed limit of 80 km/h. That's a long way down from 130 km/h to 80 km/h. If we provide only the information that the limit is variable, what speed limit should a consumer assume? Maybe it would be faster to drive around the city, because there is usually a limit of 130 km/h? I want to suggest to remove the recommendation within the wiki for maxspeed=signals and instead recommend maxspeed:variable=<reason> + maxspeed=<maximum speed limit> . Best regards, Martin
