There *should* always be signage indicating a change in maxspeed from something else to 30 mph. The street lights merely act as repeaters, since normally repeaters are required every so many yards for a non-NSL limit. The presence of street lights does *not* mean 30 mph (just need to look at any lit motorway for evidence of this). I have found anomalies, though. In fact, I happen to live on a road which is not signed correctly. It joins a 40 mph road, but there is no indication of change of speed limit. I have informed my local council about this but never heard anything back. I think really the only thing we can do in such situations is use common sense. So source:maxspeed=common_sense? Alternatively, you could ask the local council which should know the real limits. -- Borbus. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
