[Tagging] How to tag a "overhead electronic display" ?

[Gerd Petermann]

I think we have divide this into two points:

1) how do we map the position "overhead"? I found location=overhead is used ~ 2500 times.

2) I guess we all associate the "electronic display" with something similar to a computer monitor,

which is programmable, but if I got that right, there are also less "flexible" traffic_signs which can

only show a limited number of different sysmbols by flipping small coloured elements, still that are

probably controlled by electronic components.

I guess we don't care much about this difference.

The interesting part is that the information on the sign can change,

so I think

traffic_sign=changing

or

traffic_sign=variable

are both okay, don't know which one is less confusing.

We have generally avoided the use of acronyms in tagging. Most people, including me, wouldn't recognize the meaning of sign=pcms upon seeing it.

I think we'd have to invent a tag.  I only know them to be called a "programmable changeable message sign", so I'd probably tag it traffic_sign=pcms

Any ideas (which do not invent a new highway tag)?
