In Italy e.g. the end of motorway sign (like the one above, but green) is placed at the end of the "area di competenza autostradale" and this includes motorway_links (and strictly speaking also service areas, that are not even tagged as motorway_something) the speed limit is not something that defines whether something is a motorway or not, just an hint to understand whether the situation is that of a long motorway_link or not -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' homepage: http://www.trueelena.org email: elena.valha...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
