Hi All, First, I thought the tagging guidelines were "don't tag unless it's a non-default value" (my language to describe this might be inaccurate, feel free to improve). If this is true, then I shouldn't tag rural ALL roads with maxspeed. It's only those that are "non-default".
*Can anyone please confirm the above please?* Secondly, it does look like there is a tagging for implicit (speed) values as per https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed#Implicit_maxspeed_values <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed#Implicit_maxspeed_values> maxspeed = AU:urban maxspeed = AU:rural I believe that the above is better than tagging 50kph, 60kph or 100kph - because a change in legislation (as has happened in the past) can change is without tags needing to be updated. But that all being said, I would still be tagging all roads and not just those that are "non-default" on the ground. *Which contradicts the first point (if it is true that is).* This feels like a distinct gap in OSM (as others have pointed out). But this is one I would like to know how to deal with. Perhaps area's could be tagged with maxspeed=AU:urban or maxspeed=AU:rural to define "implicit speed areas"? I think this might be what is missing. *Thoughts?* Thanks for reading AH On Wed, 20 Apr 2022 at 10:30, Graeme Fitzpatrick <graemefi...@gmail.com> wrote: > In regard to defaults, the default 50kph Qld (Oz-wide?) urban residential > limit should apply around here, & sure enough, most streets are 50.
