As long as we're dealing with advisory signs erected by an official body

Hi everyone
Just a reminder we are NOT meeting tomorrow but the following Thursday May
10th. May I suggest Knowle/Dorridge (rail station in Dorridge for those
arriving by public transport) in Solihull and meetup in the Red Lion Knowle
for 8pm?
Let me know if you're intending to attend

Some advisory limits are signed as "Slow zone" or similar.
Advisory signs can be put up with no formality. Legal speed limits
require a traffic regulation order,
I think they are popular in Flintshire around schools. I was certainly
somewhat disconcerted by them when I first encountered them.
It occurs to me that it may be worth mapping these because of their obvious
intent to confuse, but only using highway=traffic_sign.

Such signs have apparently no legal status whatsoever.

Hey Phil
The quest pin is still in your application's cache. The app downloaded

In any case, no need to worry. In case you solve a quest that turns out

Hi
In the latest OSM-Carto upgrade an icon was added for historic=castle.
Which highlights a bit of a problem with the tagging of The Tower of
London (1)
The walls are split individually as the turrets have names.
Most of those tags are duplicated with an building=castle.

It is advisory to travel at that speed because traffic calming makes

Single or dual carriageway has nothing to do with restricted access. It is
whether or not each direction is a different physically separate carriageway.

Restricted Road is the correct formal term for roads where the default
30mph limit applies. That said, it is not a term that most people will
recognise (unlike single/dual carriageway).

Also,
6. Did you come up with the term "restricted" or is the term actually
used within the same context as single / dual carriageway in the UK
legislation? Because, that term is usually used for quite another thing
in OSM context (restricted access roads). But, as long as the nsl_*

True for roads with street lighting, but quite common, and required, on 30 mph

A 20 mph zone is a 20mph speed limit area. 20 mph repeater signs are judged
not to be necessary because the traffic calming measures physically limit
the speed of traffic.
A 20 mph limit simply imposed on an existing road without traffic calming
is deemed to require repeaters to differentiate it

This is correct on street lit where the 30mph limit would apply by default.
30mph repeaters can (and should) be used if a 30mph limit

And 30mph limits don't need repeaters, for example it is
The school lights I'm aware of which refer to a maximum speed are advisory
rather than mandatory. The actual legal speed limit remains the same.

Just to further complicate matters there can also be conditional 20 mph
speed limits on roads passing schools, so they're default 30mph unless the
condition is met when they're 20 mph - condition is usually flashing
lights during school opening and closing times
