[Talk-us] Another regional bugfix feed

[Toby Murray]

Well just for fun I fixed one speed limit bug. However I am not
comfortable fixing most of the speed limit bugs in the area I was
looking at (Wichita, KS) because they are just points and do not
describe for how long the reported speed limit is valid. "The speed
limit is 50 at this location" isn't very useful. Really, I need
locations of speed limit CHANGES because that is where the way needs
to be split in OSM and the pieces tagged appropriately. I guess if
enough people report speed limit bugs at different points along a
given road you could narrow things down pretty good but that probably
won't happen here in Kansas :)

Now on things like motorways (like the one that I fixed) it is a
little more doable since motorways tend to stay the same speed for
long distances.

Speed limits seem to be the most reported bug. It might be interesting
to see what happens when more things start being reported.
