Description

The key maxwidth specifies a legal restriction of the maximum permissible width of a vehicle in order to use a way or other feature (e.g. a gate). By default, values will be interpreted as metres. If the permissible width should be specified in a different unit, the unit can be added to the end of the value, separated by a space (see Examples). The value should always use the dot as decimal separator, if needed.

The source of the maximum permissible width can be specified by source:maxwidth=*.

Examples

Width	Tagging	Remark
Three metres	maxwidth=3	Alternatively maxwidth=3 m could be used.
3.2 metres	maxwidth=3.2	Please note the dot as decimal separator!
6 feet und 7 inches	maxwidth=6'7"

Common mistakes

Actual width

Do not confuse the specification of the maximum permissible width of vehicles with the specification of the actual width via width=*.

Incorrect values

Often the values themselves are not specified correct. The following table contains examples of incorrect tags and their correct notation.

Incorrect	Explanation	Correct
maxwidth=2km	The space between value and unit is missing.	maxwidth=2 km
maxwidth=0,6	The comma is used as wrong decimal separator.	maxwidth=0.6
maxwidth=12' 6"	There should not be a space between feet and inches.	maxwidth=12'6"
