+/- maxheight Description The legal maximum height in metres Group Restrictions Element help Useful combination highway=* Tools for this tag Combinations worldwide in Australia/Oceania in Europe (list) in Asia (list) in Central America (list) in South America (list) in Africa (list)  (via overpass turbo - help)

maxheight expresses a height limit for using the way to which the tag is added. In most cases this expresses a legal limit, though there are places where this is used differently. Note that if it is desirable to establish a difference between a legal and a physical maxheight, this should be the lesser of the two

If no unit is included, the value is assumed to be in metres. So for example maxheight=3.8 would mean maximum height is 3.8 m
