Yes .. I looked further after your message and found maxweight:bus=none 
too... that is a fair way down the page...


I got 'maxweight:conditional=none' from just before the section titled 
'Basic example' a fair way up the page.

"unlikely to find place where one is actually allowed to drive vehicles 
without any weight limits. However, it is the value used with 
maxweight:conditional=none @ * so should be treated as meaning defaults 
apply."

The meaning of 'defaults apply' would be local legal defaults .. I think.


------------------------------

My perceived confusion is between the keys

maxweight=* and

maxweightrating=*


The second one to me is preferred for the vehicle manufactures gross 
vehicle weight while the first is for the maximum permissible weight on 
a way (usually a bridge) normally specified to prevent damage to the way.
