[Talk-in] Why are so many roads tagged with multiple speeds?

[Chetan H A]

This could be a tagging mistake.

Example: *maxspeed=50* will be assigned to the road based on the signboard
<https://kartaview.org/map/@12.427455781439676,76.71715356774553,12z>
If there are separate speeds mentioned for different vehicle types
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed#Vehicles>, then we can
tag with *maxspeed:hgv=** (high good vehicles like lorry etc.)

Regards,
Chetan
