The number of places to the right of the decimal separator has meaning, it
indicates the precision of the value. Thus
80,000 lbs <> 36.28739 metric tons, even though that is what the
mathematical conversion produces. To say that the two are equal implies
that the state has equipment (weigh bridges

My view is that this isn't much different than speed limits. We don't
tag maxspeed=96.5606, we tag maxspeed=60 mph. Tag what's on the sign.

This issue has come up as well with the height of mountain peaks; those of us
who hike in the mountains in the US know peak heights *only* in feet, but OSM
seems to reflect this in meters; this is entirely unhelpful to local hikers.
Us locals think of Sierra Peak as 4050 feet, not 928 meters.
Hi all,
We have created a new tool in the footsteps of the missing roads tool, this
time focusing on wrong and missing oneway ways. There is more info in my

Please let me know if you find it useful! Send me examples of interesting

Just a heads up...
There's a bit of a discussion going on at the moment as to whether it
makes sense to store SI units (or actually a derivative - metric tons)
in maxweight tags. I noticed a few changes (initially to other values
in the UK), and commented on
