Normally, you should map the streets, not the signs. So that would mean you put the tag maxspeed=xx on the parts of the ways where you are allowed to drive xx km/h. If a way is too long, you need to split it.
For other vehicles, you can use a tag like maxspeed:vehicle=xx. As example: maxpeed:hgv=70 notes that heavy vehicles are only allowed to drive 70 km/h. I don't know what wiki page you read that suggests to tag the signs instead of the roads. regards, Sander 2011/11/10 Marc Gemis <marc.ge...@gmail.com> > I've read the wikipage on maxspeed tagging, but I have the following > questions: > > - How does one tag the end of a zone, I cannot find the number of that > sign ?
