wasn't it you who always wanted to be able to distinguish between physically possible and legally admitted? If there's a bridge that is 3 metres high and there is no sign (you won't probably find this anywhere in Germany or Europe on public ground) you could tag the road with height=3m There is also a tag in use for physical maxheights: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxheight:physical IMHO maxheight is for legal limits, but I can see from the wiki that this might not be consensus amongst all mappers (see for instance this: 03:16, 18 October 2009 Skippern (Talk | contribs) (747 bytes) (Undo revision 358573 by Tordanik (Talk) - The usage of maxheight cover physical as well, so removing legal from description) (undo) ) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
