this occurred to me while surveying speed limits in a somewhat rural part of the US.
are any of the routing engines looking at the surface tag as part of their decision making? i ask this because in NY, the default speed limit in rural areas is 55 on all roads. there are numerous unpaved roads (dirt, gravel) which do not have posted speed limits, but where driving at 55 is not reasonable unless you're a rally driver and the road is closed. i want to tag these accurately, and am doing so, but i should think that the routing engines ought to avoid, when possible, this combination or others like it: highway=unclassified name=Mead Road maxspeed=55 mph surface=dirt richard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
