I was confused by the maps as well, typical of bureaucrats who spend all
that time publishing these pretty maps that fails to convey the very
reason for the maps! And on top of it all we have to beg these idiots to
publish public data in a manner that others can use! The World's gone mad.
I'm off my soapbox now, yes Brian thanks for following it up for us.

is not otherwise coloured will become 20 mph?
Of interest those maps are Ordnance Survey's StreetView product, which
is one of the products that is available under OS OpenData licence and
we can use it in OpenStreetMap. This raises an interesting question -
if BCC created this map using only the OS StreetView map, can they
just give us the go ahead to use their data without having to worry
about OS licensing? I would say yes.
Anyway, best leave this one to Brian for now.

The city has now published maps with the speed restrictions:

The maps are OS-derived. Do you think there would be any way in which
we can get this data from the city under an open license?
