Some routing services, such as CycleStreets, update quite a bit more frequently. Usually every day or two. So I think it's useful to make the changes to benefit them so long as you've made reasonable effort to make it clear that it'll need to be undone at some point.

I know TMS is not implemented yet, but there has been discussion of doing so. A downside is that routing/navigation applications seem to take months to update the maps that they are using, so by the time the restriction makes it into these applications it could have gone, and then remain in place in these applications for months. I really do feel that we should map what is permanent, otherwise how far do we go? There has been a 50mph speed limit on the M6 in Birmingham since April, should we re-tag that too?
