I know none exists right now, but if you start making some controversial
decisions other plugins can appear. I once tried making a webpage once though
where you could just click the signs and it would translate them into pages.
It was actually working as well, but it had to use some experimental and self-
invented tags to handle the complex access restrictions (like goods vehicles
above 5 tons only allowed between 7am and 12pm for loading and unloading). Was
actually a tool to think about those complex restrictions rather than Belgian
tags. The tagging method for complex restrictions has grown up now and since
it's not the same as the one I used, the page is no longer found anywhere. I
can still dig it up if someone wants to take a look, it's all javascript and
svg and didn't work with Internet Explorer at all :-) Just don't look to hard
at it as some things were just wrong...
I'll be sticking to the current wiki information, so won't be inventing
new tags to cover specials or make it too complex. I just need to
stay in the loop with the current tagging habits.

But seriously , "End the discussion on how to tag everything" ? You
have too much spare time :)
I know, I've dwelt way too deep into this over the years and the things I
could do if I get all those hours discussing back :-) . It's always been one
of my goals in OSM to get access tags sorted out in a good and working way. I
certainly could have picked an easier topic because everyone has their own
ideas and they often are completely incompatible. Ranging from: tag everything
explicitely, all the way to: don't tag anything with access tags, just tag
what signs there are and let some tools do the translation. I've not given up
yet. But even if it never leads to a result, I certainly learned a lot about
our traffic code :-)

That last sentence sounds very familiar, it's an amazing maze ... very
SM'ish of us isn't it :)
I think what this tool produces in tags isn't too controversial
anyway. I'm just mapping the wiki knowledge in the settings file for
Belgium, it sure saves time looking up things you haven't tagged in the
last 6 months.
The latest discusssion was about a wrong C3 sign in combination with the
road, so this plugin won't help anyway.
Maybe we can finally tag this road in the Walloon region when I'm done:

don't laugh, it's our money wasted
