Hello, folks, As of January 2021, Brussels will change the default maxspeed on urban roads to become an all-30-kph city. This goes for the entire Brussels-Capital Region (161 km²). Basically, the idea is the following: * no speed roadsign will mean 30-kph * on the main roads there will be C43 signs with a 50-kph limit (or possibly 70-kph on the biggest ones); those signs are to be repeated after every intersection. * living streets (20-kph) or pedestrian areas are left untouched * motorways are left untouched
The good point is that it will be much easier than now—for drivers and for mappers alike—to know whether 50 or 30-kph applies somewhere. I will no longer use BE:urban because it’s not the same in every Region. May I suggest the following tagging scheme * maxspeed=30 + source:maxspeed=BE-BXL:urban * maxspeed=50 (or 70) + source:maxspeed=sign What do you think? Cheers.
