Well, in the US, I've just been tagging the 'ramp' speeds (
https://goo.gl/maps/Bw8Is ) as a normal 'maxspeed'. I know several other users
here in the US have been doing it the same way.
However, I wouldn't be opposed if we wanted to tag them as 'maxspeed:ramp=35
mph', but only if we could get the routers on board as that does help in the
time estimates and also to harp a user if he's going, say, 20 mph over the
'ramp' speed.
Plus, while the cops can't pull you over and give you a ticket for exceeding
the 'ramp' speed (if they do, you can challenge it in court if it's just a
normal speeding ticket), they can however, nail you with a reckless driving
ticket/charge if you wipe out and wreck while exceeding it. That's why I said
we need to get the routers on board if we add a new tag for the ramps where
these signs are posted so they can continue to alert drivers who go over the
ramp speed (if that option is turned on).
