One week ago I had never heard of the zone:traffic tags. I didn't have a clue how one could tag streets as part of built-up area/city limits or out of it. For many years this is something I have been wanting to do though. So I was glad I finally learned how it could/should be done in one of the many discussions started by Papou.<div>

<br></div><div>zone30 are mostly within built-up area, zone50 and zone70 aren't. I think it's important to distinguish between zoneXX and built-up area as they occur mostly independent from each other, so the namespaces also ought to be independent.</div>

<div><br></div><div>We could use source:maxspeed=BE:zone30 instead of source:maxspeed=zone30, but since a street already gets zone:traffic=BE:urban/rural, the BE seems less important in the source:maxspeed tags.</div><div>

<br></div><div>I created the following mapcss style to help visualize, alongside the alreayd existing maxspeed style:</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
