no, you're wrong. It's the maxspeed for normal cars. Drivers of different vehicles must inform themselves about local legislation when driving in another country. For bicycles in Germany I can tell you that general maxspeeds don't apply to them. And obviously you're also not travelling to Poland, otherwise you would have seen this sign: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Speedlimitsinpoland.png/424px-Speedlimitsinpoland.png cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
