[talk-ph] philippine speed limits

[ian lopez]

The said law is obsolete by my standards. However, some major roads post maxspeed limits. From what I know, NLEX has an 80 kilometer per hour speed limit but it probably tolerates anyone until the vehicle reaches 120 kph. (maxspeed:recommended=80; maxspeed:tolerable=120) SLEX, on the other hand, has a 60 kph speed limit from the Calamba exit up to the Alaska Milk area ( http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=14.36649&lon=121.04392&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF ). From that point up to the Nichols toll plaza, the limit is at 80 kph. Also, some stretches of the Pan-Philippine highway may have a 60 kph speed limit. Streets inside downtown areas probably have a 40 kph speed limit (and I doubt the fact that motorists traversing Jose Rizal Avenue in San Pablo are following the obsolete 10 kph limit.)

In the absence of max_speed data in osmph roads, I'm looking at
putting default values for garmin gps routing.  The Philippine law is
not very helpful and is probably obsolete:
