Likewise, I actually (manually) added maxspeed=50 along with maxspeed:source=default residential etc... (word for word) to many ways i created in the belief that this was some kind of accepted standard being used in Australia. If I need to go back and change them I can, but it there are many more others like me out there then any undo/redo bot might need to consider this.

The bot edits were made from an account that has declined the CTs, and they are the target here. However, did you add this source after verifying the maxspeed, or did you just guess? If you have actually verified the maxspeed, it is important that you update the source to be survey, or the like. People do go and check unverified information like this, and it adds efficiency when edits accurately reflect the source.

I regularly visit the areas I'm working on and I mostly use voice recordings. Have been focusing on street names which I spell out from signs, and very interested in house numbers. Speed limits were an afterthought but I figured it would be a good start just to use 50 with the "default blah blah..." as I'd seen everywhere else for the residential streets. Will change them to "survey" or "sign" ... or the like once verified. BJ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
