'source:maxspeed=UK:urban' as being a better match with proposals for other
countries. I think we also need agreed distinct text for national single
carriageway and national dual carriageway to avoid confusion over trunk
oneway roads and trunk dual carriageways.Should we do national motorway
while we are at it given that our government is keen on increasing that
