[Tagging] Maxspeed

[Colin Smale]

Don't agree with this... there have been discussions in the past about
whether the "width" of a "way" includes the pavements etc... Where a
road goes under a bridge, where do you measure the "height" of the road?
The highest point (not good enough for vehicles) or the "lowest highest
point" or "in the middle of the road"? I would expect maxheight:physical
to apply to a "normal vehicle", of maybe 2.5m width. 

There is no difference between the signs for a width/height limit for
"environmental" reasons or for real physical obstructions (although
qualifications like "except for access" may give a clue). But this
distinction is extremely important for emergency vehicles which can
ignore "environmental" limits but not physical ones.
