Tools for this tag |
|
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=*
.

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:
- for NL:urban the legal default is 50 km/h[1], but the most common
maxspeed=*
value on the road is 30 km/h[2] - for NL:urban the legal default is 80 km/h[3], but the most common
maxspeed=*
value on the road is 60 km/h[4] - for
highway=motorway
the legal default is 130 km/h[3], but the most commonmaxspeed=*
value on the road is 100 km/h[5]
