[Talk-ca] maxspeed:type=CA:urban and the like

[Jarek Piórkowski]

I think this might at least partially be a StreetComplete issue. For example https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/158937395 added maxspeed:type=CA:urban in November 2024, or https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/154714996 added CA:rural in August 2024. Anyone want to check on StreetComplete's code and Github issues?

There are also some old cases of StreetComplete users adding CA:rural on city streets like https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/60230633 in 2018, which I think can be removed on sight as clearly wrong?

Given traffic laws in Canada are a provincial and territorial matter, I have considered its usage questionable. Province-specific values, prefixed with CA-(province/territory name abbreviation) such as CA-ON:urban for an implied 50 km/h urban speed limit in Ontario better reflect the nature of Canadian traffic laws, but so far, their usage is dwarfed by the CA:-prefixed values.
