[Talk-us] SOTM-US room/ride sharing

[Paul Norman]

For those who don't know, there's a place on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_U.S._2014 for people to
indicate if they want to arrange a room share. Washington is fairly
expensive, so a room share is one way to save money.

Disclosure: I'm on the list of people looking to split the cost of a room.

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports-us] [Imports] "fleet manager" speed limit import proposal (Canada, USA)

[Bryce Nesbitt]

Keep in mind when collecting "fleet" speed limits:

in many places HGV's have a different limit than other traffic.
For example the Interstates in California USA are generally 65 mph
general/55 mph trucks.
