There are signs on a few canals in Leicestershire which say, in a nice little red circle, "6.43 km/h". I kid you not. The Environment Agency did it the sensible way. When they introduced a speed limit on the Thames, they purposefully chose 5mph because it'd be easy to sign as 8km/h if that was ever required. Anyway, back to the point, I'm not sure about the point of using "maxspeed_units" as a separate tag - it's adding an extra point of failure (what if the tag's removed? what if a client sees one tag and ignores the other?) and it's more of a faff to edit. Most importantly, it's another thing to remember - OSM tagging is difficult enough for the beginner without expanding the vocabulary needlessly. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
