Hi All, I've posted a batch of speed reports to maproulette. The first batch is - just in USA - just motorways - with no existing maxspeed tag
There are about 2000 of these at the moment. Is this all new to you? I'll recap. Last year, I was approached by a fleet management firm. They have vehicles and drivers. it is in their best interest that the drivers can complete their rounds promptly and without speeding. When the vehicle thinks the driver is speeding, there is a BEEP in the vehicle, so the driver knows, and a notation is made in the vehicle log. The driver and their supervisor go over the log and examine the places where the vehicle thinks that they were speeding. Where they weren't speeding, because the posted speed is higher than the vehicle thinks the speed should be, they provide to us the actual posted speed limit, and the OpenStreetMap way_id. So that we can improve speed limit data in OpenStreetMap. Really nice. So we have all of these driver reports, sort of like NOTES, but notes are points, and using a point to define a maxspeed tag won't always work. This isn't a perfect maproulette challenge, either, because it can't be confirmed by aerial imagery with remote contributors. Ideally, you should have local knowledge. Have a look at the Speed Report challenge on maproulette. Currently I wasn't able to restrict maproulette to challenges in my local area. I've sent them an issue for that. if we like the way this works, there are many more speed limit reports to include in OpenStreetMap data. And more of them every month.
