<p dir="ltr">I'm from Brazil, and recently the community started reporting similar notes, though translated in portuguese, and with the same problems...<br>
Besides some obviously wrong values, there are some you can't even say where exactly they would apply to.<br>
There's been at least some 60 of those in portuguese so far.<br>
I saw a similar note in Spanish too, so they are probably even more widespread...</p>
<p dir="ltr">Besides the report of speed limit, I also saw some "Can't turn left." note[1], which are likely to be from the same origin.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Agree with all Michał said.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Interesting. The coverage of these notes is almost global. I don't see any in South America or Australia but otherwise there are some on each continent. <div><br></div><div>I also see some reported speed limits in the U.S. in km/h which is most likely not correct.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Once upon a time I suggested adding a kind of created_by type of field to notes that would eventually be required for 3rd party applications posting anonymous notes. But it seems no code has magically appeared to do this yet.</div>

Here's a search query:<br>
<a href="http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes/search?q=Incorrect%20speed%20limit.%20Reported%20speed%20limit%20is" target="_blank">http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes/search?q=Incorrect%20speed%20limit.%20Reported%20speed%20limit%20is</a><br>
<br>
As they all are generated from a template, I guess this is some app<br>
which allows users to report back errors.<br>
But it remains a mystery: Who is author of this software?<br>
<br>
As you can see, there are quite a lot of 0 km/h notes, so I am not<br>
particularly enthusiastic about validity of the data.<br>
<br>
I would rather suggest that the author either made an account for<br>
their app or otherwise stated in the body of a note. And for goodness'<br>
sake, validate what your users input against obvious errors ;-)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
