<p>Hi all, </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>it seems that the wiki </p>
<p>http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_sign<br>
</p>
<p>is too confusing. The overpass query</p>
<p></p>
<div> node[<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> "traffic_sign"="maxspeed"]["source:maxspeed"="sign"];</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">shows 831 nodes. My understanding is that one tag is for the</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">node, the other for the way.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also funny:</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/traffic_sign%3Aforward#values<br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">shows 1050 entries for the tag traffic_sign:forward=*</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">(yes, "*" as value)</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My understanding so far is that I should see e.g. these tags on a node</div>
<div>which is part of a highway:</div>
<div>traffic_sign:forward=maxspeed</div>
<div>maxspeed=60</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The corresponding way would start at this node and have</div>
<div>tags</div>
<div>maxspeed=60</div>
<div>source:maxspeed=sign</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Am I right?</div>
