Yes... always the exceptions that create the mountain of work! > c) source:maxspeed=sign is clearly correct if there is a sign.

That's a tidy differentiation between sign, survey and local_knowledge. I've sometimes struggled with the differences. From now on I'll refer back to this! We need to get this onto the wiki. On the subject of tagging "site unseen"... you brought up a perfectly legit point about routers and efforts made in the past to assist routing engines. I'm just trying to get a sense where our community stands in relation to maxspeed tagging "site unseen", for residential streets, and how we identify such tagging. Im thinking one of these might serve that purpose... source:maxspeed=default source:maxspeed=unconfirmed source:maxspeed=fixme source:maxspeed=presumed It would be a stop-gap measure to assist routing engines, and we can later use such tagging to flag areas needing proper survey. And then there's the aspect that once something is surveyed, it needs periodic review ... but that's a whole new consideration. > Just an aside, a simple case study in presumptions.

I knew this existed somewhere... but had no idea it was using 25! Clearly there's too many exceptions and unknowns - even if the profile was on a country-by-country basis, we have layers of government authorities wanting to set their own rules and it's forever changing.
