Great - someone has now changed a bunch of "maxspeed=national" locally to me to to "maxspeed=60 mph". Next I guess someone will come along and add "source:maxspeed=i_was_sat_in_my_armchair_and_it_seemed_like_a_good_idea" or similar?

We've lost the information that the sign is actually NOT a 60 mph sign. Something like method 2 above would have avoided losing information (although "GB:rural" is meaningless; if pushed, "GB:national" or some variant would be better).

Rather amusing, really. I noticed that this had happened overnight to a road near me, and messaged the user to draw his attention to this discussion - without twigging that the 'PeterIto' I was talking to was actually Peter Miller of ITO (I can be a bit slow on the uptake sometimes)!

Having followed this discussion, I must say I'm rather surprised that Peter has done this without at least adding a source:maxspeed or maxspeed:type tag at the same time.
