I've noticed that locally a number of "GB:nsl_single", "GB:nsl_dual",
and "GB:motorway" "maxspeed:type" values have been consolidated into
"gb:national", so that that gone from nowhere to being the second
most-used value:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/maxspeed:type#values
An example is:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/4076295/history
Is this how we're mapping "national speed limits" now? Other than
simple Garmin maps I'm not a consumer of the data, so am happy with
whatever people decide. Actually, I was happy using "maxspeed=national"
until some people (writing routers I think) complained that they
couldn't figure out whether "national" meant 60mph or 70mph and what
other restrictions might apply, and insisted on a numeric value in
maxspeed, but I was happy to go along with that as long as the fact that
it's a national limit rather than a numeric one wasn't lost.
Apologies if this has already been discussed at length somewhere else,
but if so I never got the memo :)
Cheers,
Andy
