So... with the prospect of re-editing, and the uncertainty of the

thinking the simple [restriction = school_zone] tag is the most
effective method to mark a school zone for later refinement. We
could include the extended information (e.g. operational times and
days) as either a [note = ...] (notes are not displayed to end
users), or even a [description = ...] (descriptions are potentially
displayed to end users as text hints/guides).
Does anyone else have thoughts about school zones? I'm particularly
interested in whether we can come up with a method that is
appropriate for all states.
I went through the same thought process as you, and came to the same
conclusion.
School Zones only apply school days, so the times of application
can't be captured. They have different demerit point structures.

Obviously someone regards a school zone as distinct from a maxspeed.
Ian.
That looks like Newington. I hadn't considered the administrative
differences such as demerit points, but yes! And there's a great
example at the southern end of Mann Street, Gosford where a School
Zone is contained inside a permanent 40km/h zone.
I took this pic this morning after reading your post on the way home
(applogies for sun being in the wrong place)....

"End School Zone..." and back into a 40 zone.
Therefore any tagging scheme should differentiate it as a special
rules zone rather than simply a time-based speed change. I'm getting
a headache from all this. I'm going to revert a couple of my
experimental tags back to restriction=school_zone with a note, and
worry about it later.
Cheers,
BJ
