Please note that speed limits are _not_ interpreted by regions. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed states that the unit has to be added explicitly when it’s not km/h – independent of the region where you are mapping. Region-dependent interpretation of units is IMHO a quite bad idea. 2015-04-09 5:41 GMT, Bryce Nesbitt <[email protected]>: > How it's entered into the database, and how it's displayed, are two > separate things.
