Thanks for trying to standardize on this. I've seen a few of these maximum weight signs and was unsure of how to tag.
>From what I've seen in the United States, I've seen maximum weights listed as both lbs (pounds) and tons (where 1 ton = 2000 pounds). In Portland, Oregon, I've recently come across the following following text on signs: WEIGHT RESTRICTED BRIDGE SINGLE AXLE TRUCKS 50,000 LBS MAX COMBINATION TRUCKS 80,000 LBS MAX WEIGHT LIMIT REDUCED ANY SINGLE AXLE 20,000 LBS ANY TANDEM AXLE 34,000 LBS ANY GROSS WEIGHT 105,500 LBS LEGAL AXLE LOADS ONLY WEIGHT LIMIT 6 TONS Reading this page, I see the potential ambiguity extends deeper than I realized (short ton, metric ton, long ton) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonne Peter On Tue, Jun 25, 2019 at 3:35 AM Mateusz Konieczny <matkoni...@tutanota.com> wrote: > How often weight limit signs other than plain > "Weight limit X tons" > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:MUTCD_R12-1.svg > > and > > R12-5 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:MUTCD_R12-5.svg > appear? > > Some of them are listed at > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxweight#United_States > but I am unsure is it case of something actually popular or rare curiosity? > > ----- > > I am asking as I work on extending StreetComplete by adding max weight > quest for bridges > and I want to support also USA-style weight limits. > > ---- > > PS StreetComplete is a bit different editor, available as an Android > application - it allows to make > a very limited set of edits, but all can be done by answering simple > questions with no OSM specific > knowledge necessary. > > PPS In case that somebody used StreetComplete and noticed some stupid and > preventable behavior, > reports at https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues are > welcomed (or > within this thread if someone is unable/unwilling to make a Github account) > > > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-us mailing list > Talk-us@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us >
