Not necessarily. Perhaps the number on the sign came from a measurement? E.g. "Maximum Clearance: 2.0" Perhaps this is a case of ambiguity between whether the number refers to a "restriction" or to physical clearance. I suspect this ambiguity is quite common. > Numbers about measurements (elevation, height of a > bridge, road width): trailing zeros do have value. As I said, the number on the sign may have come from a measurement. I think the trailing zeros should be retained unless there is a specific reason to remove them. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
