That's exactly why I talked about my jurisdiction (The Netherlands), which doesn't have an implicit maxspeed for bicycles. It apparently never was a real problem in law enforcement, or it would've likely been amended. > explicit speedlimits here as well, but Lennard was writing about > implicit speedlimits (in town=50 and the like).

Exactly, it's a moot point, and I included it mostly to make the point that there are so many subtle ways to handle maxspeed, that it would be difficult to make an all-encompassing tagging scheme. At some point, you'll just have to go with a generalized solution. -- Lennard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
