Not the default unit, but the default speed limit. Reference.... <br>

The default speed limit for motorways on OSM in, say,
Australia would be taking regionally, while that for USA
would be different and taken for that region?<br>

b) values would interpreted by region. Most of the
world would be Celsius, USA would be Fahrenheit.
(Similar to defaults for speed on roads.)<br>

Please note that speed limits are _not_ interpreted by
regions.<br>

states that the unit<br>
has to be added explicitly when it’s not km/h –
independent of the<br>
region where you are mapping.<br>
<br>
Region-dependent interpretation of units is IMHO a quite
bad idea.<br>

How it's entered into the database, and how it's
displayed, are two<br>
separate things. Humans are messy. Unless the API
starts validating<br>
entries, entries will vary in format, even if we
officially say that "46 C"<br>
is the official format. But software can parse and
normalize numbers.<br>
<br>
That said: temperature=___ is a problematic tag
regardless of the<br>
formatting of the data.<br>
