On tagging implicit speed limits in the United Kingdom, the wiki lists
the following values [1] for "maxspeed:type":
GB:nsl_single (=60 mph), GB:nsl_dual (=70 mph) and GB:motorway (=70 mph)
Aren't we missing a couple of points here?
These speed limits encode vectors, not scalars. As I recall the speed
limit is dependent on the type of vehicle. E.g. buses and HGVs are
limited to 60 on motorways and dual carriageways:
<https://www.gov.uk/speed-limits>. In particular, the signed limit is
often only the highest of the limits.
The other thing about these codes, is that they allow all limits to
change quickly if legislations changes.
