wasn't it you who always wanted to be able to distinguish between
physically possible and legally admitted? If there's a bridge that is
3 metres high and there is no sign (you won't probably find this
anywhere in Germany or Europe on public ground) you could tag the road
with
height=3m

There is also a tag in use for physical maxheights:

IMHO maxheight is for legal limits, but I can see from the wiki that
this might not be consensus amongst all mappers (see for instance
