Here is the page on maxspeed.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:source:maxspeed this is the section on the signs that left me with the questions Tagging sign positions Practice has shown that it is generally useful to *additionally* map the positions of maxspeed signs. It is suggested to put a node at the actual sign position and tag it with - traffic_sign <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_sign>= maxspeed<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:traffic_sign%3Dmaxspeed&action=edit&redlink=1> - maxspeed <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed>=50 for a limit of 50 km/h This procedure is really helpful for other mappers and for yourself, as it is almost impossible to not overlook a sign while mapping an area the first time. It is suggested to also map repeated maxspeed signs. *Please note that this procedure is an additional help for mappers and still requires to map the maxspeed limits on the way as well!* * * * * There is also a section on the source, which I did not apply before, I used to only put a maxspeed tag on the way examples e.g. - maxspeed <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed>=50 and * source:maxspeed*=IT:urban - maxspeed <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed>=100 and * source:maxspeed*=DE:rural - maxspeed <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed>=130 and * source:maxspeed*=IT:motorway - maxspeed <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed>=50 and * source:maxspeed*=sign - - maxspeed <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed>=30 and * source:maxspeed*=DE:zone - Proposed by a majority on the mailing list - maxspeed <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed>=30 and * source:maxspeed*=DE:zone30 - Most used value - maxspeed <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed>=30 and * source:maxspeed*=DE:zone:30 - Second most used value
