This tag indicates which set of implicit traffic rules apply to a particular road (rules not set explicitly by signs). Each value of this tag is associated with a different set of default traffic rules.

Because default traffic rules vary from country to country, values are country-specific (or region-specific if traffic regulations vary within the country). The traffic regulations of most countries distinguish at least two zones: urban (inside the built-up area / city limits) and rural (outside the built-up area / city limits).

All values follow the format <ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or ISO 3166-2 region code>:<rural or urban or something else>.

This tag is based on the trafficzone proposal, which is still in draft status but widely accepted in Germany.

Values

Belgium

Since the Sixth Belgian State Reform, the regional governments can and do set separate default speed limits, but only on non-motorways.

Non-motorway, in the Flemish Region, outside the built-up area BE-VLG:rural
Non-motorway, in the Flemish Region, inside the built-up area BE-VLG:urban

Germany

Situation zone:traffic=*
Outside the built-up area DE:rural
Inside the built-up area DE:urban

Various other values are also currently in use in Germany, which partially overlap with the zones defined above. This should be resolved such that every road is in a unique zone. Note that other traffic rules can be mapped with separate tags.

Netherlands

Each Caribbean island has separate traffic rules.
