[OSM-talk-be] 90 --> 70 km/h

[joost schouppe]

As far as I know, our government does not have data on speed limits, so
they can't let us or TomTom know. I recently found open data on gewestwegen
[1], I think they (AWV) could probably do a rather quick update.
And there's a registry of all traffic signals, but I'm not sure about the
quality and I don't think it's open data. In theory, you could use that to
find ways marked 90 without a nearby maxspeed sign.

@Marc, unsigned maxspeed is still quit common, especially on unclassified
roads and on N-roads with little traffic.

Our OsmAnd/Magic Earth/Navmii/maps.me/... you mean ? Who uses tomtom ? :-)

Are there many roads where the actual speed limit will change ? How
many roads in Flanders are there left without max 70 signs ? It's for
those roads that things will change, they will become 70. Unless a
sign with max 90 is placed. So we should focus on those roads for
mapping.

FYI, the speed limit is not always taken into account to calculate
travel distance. In many cases some default determined by the software
is used. The default is based on the road classification. But it is
useful to get a warning that you are driving faster than the maximum
allowed speed.
