The maps on osm.org do not show the max speed, lane information, max
height, speed camera's and so forth. In this presentation
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1F69PAR44JF3pBE1mBuv-8VaNmkyIOxxQhcAYEM_PuWo/edit#slide=id.pyou'll
find a number of links to maps that show some of that information.
 With those maps you can also find out where the information is missing in
your neighborhood.

There are also 2 styles for JOSM that show that information while you are
editing: "Lane and road
attributes<http://josm.openstreetmap.de/josmfile?page=Styles/Lane_and_Road_Attributes&zip=1>"
and "Maxspeed<http://josm.openstreetmap.de/josmfile?page=Styles/Maxspeed&style>",
see https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Styles for more information.

There are also 2 styles for the cycling and walking networks. I think that
the cycling network is rather complete, but need maintenance. That means
check whether the nodes are still on the right spot, the routes are still
correctly laid out. I've hear that the navigation is not always correct on
a Garmin device because the street & cycleways are not tagged correctly in
some case.

The walking networks are far from complete. (see the maps in the above
presentation).

Also, the networks are broken sometimes by less experienced mappers that
change the streets. A nice tool to find those problems is

Walking and cycling network mapping are not the easiest thing to map. We
have organised hangouts (video conferencing from Google) to explain this in
the past. Unfortunately I don't have time the coming month to set one up
with you. Maybe Jo ("Polyglot") has some time to teach you the correct way
of mapping.

Have fun !
