It seems that PeterITO is once again making changes to speed limits, this time changing limits that are tagged maxspeed=national to maxspeed=60 mph. The signs I see ( the round white sign with the black diagonal bar) does not say 60 mph it says national speed limit. Therefore I believe PeterITO is wrong to make the changes. Furthermore, he seems to making them over a wide area which makes it an undiscussed mass edits and should probably be reverted as such.<br>
<br>
PeterITO, please explain what you are doing.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote><div><br>I have been fixing up the very small number of the remaining non-numeric content in maxspeed to conform with more common practice here in the UK and across the world. My changes are also consistent with the wiki. I have not lost the fact that the sign is a white sign with a black bar in my edits. that information is now encoded in source:maxspeed or maxspeed:type.<br>
<br>Examples of the changes I have made:<br>I have changed maxspeed=48 to maxspeed=30 mph (also maxspeed=80 to maxspeed=50 mph etc) where it is obvious that they were entered as km/h<br>I have changed a bunch of maxspeed=20 to maxspeed=20 mph when it is clear that that is what was intended.<br>
I have removed some maxspeed=30mph;50mph where it is not obvious where the change happened before the merge.<br>I have changed a number of maxspeed=national to maxspeed=60 mph + maxspeed:type=uk:nsl_single or to maxspeed=70 mph + maxspeed:type=uk:nsl_dual or to uk:motorway as appropriate.<br>
Similarly for maxspeed=nsl_single, nsl_dual and national_limit, all of which occur in small quantities.<br>Also a bunch of 'maxspeed=70 mph + GB:motorway' in Sussex, which are now maxspeed=70 mph + maxspeed:type=UK:motorway (this odd coding must have been based on a misunderstanding of the wiki or a talk post I believe).<br>
I have changed a few maxspeed=High Street to name=High Street and removed the maxspeed tagging in a few places. Odd but true.<br><br>You can use this map to see most of the things I have changed on this 'Speed fixup' map on ITO Map. The bits I have been focusing on are in bright colours.<br>

<br>I hope this puts your mind at rest. Apologies for not raising this on the list first, however it started with a few tweeks to my area and then grew as these things sometimes do. All in all I think we can be very pleased with the grown in speed limit data over the past year.<br>
