Thank You Greame,

The  https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:hazard#Traffic_hazards tag
seems very appropriate but in my mind, needs a :hgv namespace.

still not sure on the actual values but...tag/values I would appreciate
feedback on:

hazard:hgv=Use low gears
hazard:hgv=Long Steep Descent
hazard:hgv=Use low gears;Long Steep Descent


Another example I would appreciate feedback  are QLD "Tilting Truck signs":
https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/signs/warning

hazard:hgv=Tilting
hazard:hgv=High Risk Rollover
hazard:hgv= ?????????????


Kind regards,
Andrew
