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>
.
If both sides of a road lie in a different zone, e.g. because the road follows a national border, then you can use zone:traffic:left=*
and zone:traffic:right=*
.
Values
Since the Sixth Belgian State Reform, the regional governments can and do set separate default speed limits, but only on non-motorways.

The Netherlands consist of a European part and overseas territories in the Caribbean. Each Caribbean island has separate traffic rules.
Please note that in the European part of the Netherlands the most common actual legal maxspeed on the roads is typically lower than the legal default maxspeed, since in most cases traffic signs on the ground overrule the general traffic rules:
