Re: [Talk-us] User randomly adding speed limits across the US

We have a similar convention in the US for doing that, though usually requires tagging traffic_sign=maxspeed, maxspeed=?? mph in a few places, since there's often multiple "steps" from rural speeds to town speeds when entering a town or city (Oklahoma sense; Oregon would call anything incorporated
