Great - someone has now changed a bunch of "maxspeed=national" locally
to me to to "maxspeed=60 mph". Next I guess someone will come along and
add
"source:maxspeed=i_was_sat_in_my_armchair_and_it_seemed_like_a_good_idea" or
similar?
We've lost the information that the sign is actually NOT a 60 mph sign.
Something like method 2 above would have avoided losing information
(although "GB:rural" is meaningless; if pushed, "GB:national" or some
variant would be better).
Cheers,
Andy
