Are people happy with:
GB:motorway (which implies 70 mph at present and possibly 80 mph in the future)
GB:dual_carriageway (which implies 70 mph at present)
GB:single_carriageway (which implies 60 mph at present)
I think this is a sensible scheme and can go either into 'maxspeed' (in which
case client applications will need a lookup table of what GB:motorway means)
or else into 'maxspeed:sign' (in which case the 'maxspeed' tag contains the
literal mph value, and will need automated retagging in case the national limit
changes).
However, one flaw is that the speed limit sign is not for 'dual carriageway
limit applies' but rather 'national speed limit applies'. So we still would not
be tagging exactly what appears on the sign, but adding some additional
interpretation. I think that is fair enough, but those who hold to a strict
on-the-ground principle may disagree.
I was going to make the same point.
maxspeed:derivation=national_dual|national_single|motorway|restricted ?
