While there haven't been a decision on revising the existing classifications for roads, I am also considering discussing a tagging scheme for implied speed limits (those not indicated by a sign). I have been experimenting with tagging of those unsigned speed limits on some of my last edits, but I'm also thinking of a standard for the country.
---- The default speed limits for the Philippines (as codified in the Land Transportation and Traffic Code or Republic Act 4136) are as follows 80 kph (50 for heavy trucks and buses) - "open country" roads 40 kph (30 for trucks and buses) - "through" roads within built-up area 30 kph - "non-through" roads within built-up areas 20 kph - crowded streets In addition, many major rural roads may have lower implied limits (e.g. 40 kph) due to factors such as pedestrians walking on the road, and some major urban roads may have a higher limit (e.g. 60 for multi-lane roads or other roads where pedestrians don't frequently cross or walk alongside vehicles). Expressways are not covered by RA 4136, but there seems to be these defaults (almost all of these explicitly marked by standard circular signs): 100 (80 for heavy trucks and buses) - rural 80 - urban 60 - minimum ---- These defaults, in turn, corresponds to these possible values for OSM (along with the corresponding numeric value: - PH:rural - 80 - PH:urban - 30 (minor through roads within cities/municipalities, generally those classified tertiary), 40 (all other major roads), 60 (higher-quality roads, generally multi-lane) -PH:living_street - 20 (note: includes anything classified unclassified, residential and service, not only those classified living_street) Important questions are: 1.) How should we handle the RA 4136 categories: source:maxspeed= or maxspeed:type=? 2.) Is this already a fine proposal, or this may need some tweaking? --TagaSanPedroAko
