And don't forget that the metre was redefined in 1983. If specifying a speed in km/h, you should ascertain the age of the sign to see whether it's 50,000 * one ten-millionth of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole via Paris, or the distance travelled by light in an absolute vacuum in 50,000 299,792,458ths of a second. /me starts to cry. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
