This is a good example of a bad choice of separators. Because
(weight>5.5) and destination are both conditions, but if I don't know
that they are conditions, I have no chance of figuring it out. If you
use a different character (like the ? in the 1.5) it would be clear
where the conditions start.

Didn't know about that too. And it has the same problem:
  maxspeed:lanes:hgv:wet=60|50|40

Where does the condition begin? Again this is not obvious. Small change:
  maxspeed:lanes?hgv:wet=60|50|40

Now it is clear.
