One point relating to Average Speed Cameras: Don't assume that the first camera is entry into a monitored section and the next camera exits the monitoring. This is not always the case.
They can be set up as dual-exit-entry like this: Enter-A --> Exit-A-Enter-B --> Exit-B (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7048645.stm ) Or potentially overlapped like this: Enter-A --> Enter-B --> Exit-A --> Exit-B So the best we may be able to do is note the presence of the cameras. Attempting to place them in relations for the individual monitored sections could be tricky and misleading.

Dare I say it, this _is_ the right situation to use a relation. The camera nodes between which the average speed is calculated could be added to the relation in the correct order. Then again, this is the sort of detail that I'm sceptical we'll ever reach in openstreetmap in a remotely uniform (i.e. useful) way, so I'm not sure of the value of this level of complexity. Relations don't really seem to be necessary really. Responding to a later comment. Average speed cameras can monitor a network of roads so one can't assume that there is an order in which a vehicle will pass the cameras. Surely a simple fag such as 'speed_camera=average' to the relevant highways would be the logical. One could then add details such as 'speed_camera:type=Specs' or whatever. After all, the speed limit is on the way. Possibly the best tag would be 'maxspeed:enforcement=average'. That might work well. Regards, Peter robert. p.s. Then again again, the germans managed to map their whole power line network (?) didn't they? _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [3]Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org [4]http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb References 1. mailto:li...@humanleg.org.uk 2. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dspeed_camera 3. mailto:Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org 4. http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
