Thank you for your carefully considered response ;)

Are we anywhere nearer getting an agreed set of supporting 'metatags' for
speed limits, regardless of where they are put (either in maxspeed or in
maxspeed:sign)?

Are people happy with:

GB:motorway (which implies 70 mph at present and possibly 80 mph in the
future)
GB:dual_carriageway (which implies 70 mph at present)
GB:single_carriageway (which implies 60 mph at present)

If so then I will add these to the 'national' tags that I have touched.

If not then can someone else lead the process of bringing this to a shared
understanding? I am going to take much more of a back-seat until we get an
agreement on this matter.



Regards,



Peter
