<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I was confused by the maps as well,
typical of bureaucrats who spend all that time publishing these
pretty maps that fails to convey the very reason for the maps!
And on top of it all we have to beg these idiots to publish public
data in a manner that others can use! The World's gone mad.<br>

I'm off my soapbox now, yes Brian thanks for following it up for
us.<br>

<div>Confused. Are the maps suggesting that any road within
the area that is not otherwise coloured will become 20 mph?<br>
<br>

Of interest those maps are Ordnance Survey's StreetView
product, which is one of the products that is available under
OS OpenData licence and we can use it in OpenStreetMap. This
raises an interesting question - if BCC created this map using
only the OS StreetView map, can they just give us the go ahead
to use their data without having to worry about OS licensing?
I would say yes.<br>

Anyway, best leave this one to Brian for now.<br>

The city has now published maps with the speed restrictions:<br>

The maps are OS-derived. Do you think there would be any way
in which<br>
we can get this data from the city under an open license?<br>
