That's not what I said. To repeat, my point is that, at least locally, a signposted speed limit *is* a guarantee that, for an ordinary vehicle traveling under ordinary conditions, the speed is reasonable. An unsigned speed limit, on the other hand, does *not* carry that guarantee. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
