The page on maxspeed is this one: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed</a><br><br>The page you gave is a page that explains the possibilities to tag the source of the maxspeed (a sign, or a missing sign). In general, sources are only useful to help other mappers or yourself. So if you have the correct maxspeed tag on the roads, there's not really a need to tag the source.<br>

Practice has shown that it is generally useful to <i>additionally</i> map the positions of maxspeed signs. It is suggested to put a node at the actual sign position and tag it with</p><ul style="line-height:19px;list-style-type:square;margin-top:0.3em;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:1.5em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">
