It's possibly the one useful thing on the wiki. It is machine-parseable (and those bits that aren't, should be). How do you get this into your app? Well, you could use it as a lookup table in the app if you liked. But remember that the one part of the OSM toolchain employed by 99% of end-uses is Osmosis. Osmosis understands polygons (for country boundaries), and tag transformations (to translate the mappings into whatever tag you want). Speed limits are easy compared to access restrictions. So there is absolutely no reason why there shouldn't be an equivalent table for speed limits. It would be the matter of two minutes' work. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Maxspeed-tagging-for-the-UK-tp6245995p6272399.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
