I’d guess most jurisdictions will have a clause like this, Italy and Germany have them as well, but unless you are involved in an accident you won’t get into problems as long as you respect the signposted or default limits. There may be different implicit limits for certain weather conditions (e.g. 50kph if visibility is inferior to 50m), but this is not comparable to vague indications like “reasonable”. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
