<div>The wiki ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dspeed_camera ) suggests that <em>highway=speed_camera</em> is only appied to nodes, as obviously if it was applied to a way then it would replace the <em>highway=motorway/primary/secondary tag</em>.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I can imagine two possible ways to handle average speed cameras:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1) Tag nodes on the way with the existing <em>highway=speed_camera</em> tag and add a new <em>speed_camera:type=average</em> tag to categorise them (possibly with a better tag name if someone would care to offer it).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2) Propose something like <em>traffic_calming=average_speed_check</em>, applied to the section of the way covered by cameras.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thoughts?</div>

<br>
Do you think that it is sufficient to just add 'highway=speed_camera' to the way in question?<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dspeed_camera">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dspeed_camera</a><br>
<br>
If so I will update the wiki with details that instant cameras should be on nodes and average cameras on ways.<br>
