3mph / 5km/h is also a common enough speed limit that this value appears in
the SHS as a common value for speed limit signs (usually used in scales,
unusually tight service plazas, etc).

I've also seen 5km/h limits in Italy, eg on private ground, at ferry terminals 
and at the customs

Except bike routes, bus routes, and pretty much every other kind of route
relevant to road users that doesn't involve driving.

For consistency sake, seems like relations are the way to go, even in one
route instances.

I just think the tools need to handle the loop scenario, where a bus route
traverses the same way twice as part of a midroute dogleg or around the
block situation.

Or better clarity on access restrictions by time in general, given that
roads or lanes may typically switch directions or be closed entirely at
certain times of day, and it would be nice for routers to have something
solid to hook on to for ideal routing advice.  One problem that comes up a
lot in Tulsa are turn restrictions that only apply during certain times of
day unless you're driving vehicles operated by a specific agency...
