Umm, actually that one's a bit of an urban myth. The sign (and it's a UN standard sign, not just Australian) means "end of local speed limits, back to State/Country default speed limit." The racing licence thing comes from very old rule in NSW where they didn't enforce the limit (for anybody) as long as you were not driving at "excessive or dangerous" speeds, and no longer applies. Somebody once used the "I'm a racing driver, it's not excessive for me" excuse and got off. As long as you know the state default speed limit, this is easy to tag. It is exactly the same as a sign with that limit. Stephen _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
