The start and end of the speed limit are not given. That's what I would usually ask. And there are speed limits reported that I just don't believe, eg. the famous 0km/h or 105km/h. Or speed limits in areas with variable speed limits already tagged in OSM. An application that uses OSM data and (semi)automatically reports issues should imo filter obvious errors and *at least give a way for OSM to get in touch with the application team* to tell them about problems in their application/version of the OSM data. > Anyway "Incorrect speed limit" is one that needs a survey, but not > really clarification. You could solve every problem in OSM by survey, but what's the point of notes saying "survey needed"? A lot of messages posted with the same text and known to be of dubious quality are hiding those messages that are posted by a user on the osm.org website. Usually users who post notes on the osm.org check back if the map has changed so I'd like to fix these first. I think this all boils down to the need for different categories of notes. Those posted by single users that spot an error on the map and who care about that report enough to possibly check back and give further details and those of datausers that have their own crowd (or tool/validator) that reports errors in the datausers version of OSM data and where the user might not even know he has put a note on the osm.org website, so no answer or feedback can be expected (and the report might be bogus since the error might only be in the datausers data/app).
