The "real" variable traffic signs are similar to those jonhw describes, that they can only display a limited set of signs, which can affect the speed limit. I'd rather see that these info displays are not traffic_sign=*, but anything else goes. -- alv _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
