Great tool for visualizing speed limits
The US convention of 'xx mph' has proved difficult for many map consumers. I have bugged all the other "Speed Limit Visualizer" providers, but no one has come up with a functional speed limit visualizer in MPH until this one. I'm trying to figure out the color scheme though. At least I can use the display to plan video mapping to gather missing speed limit info.
As a side note: the speed limit in mph has confounded the Skobbler designers - possibly because their data is filtered via Cloudmade. There are many roads already fully tagged with maxspeed that get Mapdust reports of missing speed limits.
The better the visualizers and consumers, the more maxspeeds will get entered. You could almost needed a stopwatch to measure the delay between Mapquest rendering tollways as green and the completion of toll road markings in the US.
