Lower values than 40

It looks like lower values such as 20 and 24 have also been used, for examples see the lower image on the page, https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=52.60336199997201&lng=10.944822999972075&z=17&pKey=281286183674245&focus=photo and also the images shown on https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milit%C3%A4rische_Lastenklasse. I guess that they were described in an older edition of Stanag, previous to Stanag 2021. Maybe the table should be amended? Biff (talk) 08:54, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

I found Stanag 2021 Edition 6 on the internet and added the missing classes. Biff (talk) 10:43, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

"oneway" misleading?

Tag names like "mlc:oneway" can be misleading. According to the discussion in German Wikipedia, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskussion:Milit%C3%A4rische_Lastenklasse, the higher value applies to vehicles using a single lane. If more than one lane is used then the "mlc" value should apply, even if all traffic flows into the same direction. (The same should apply to the wheeled_oneway/tracked_oneway tags.)

One-lane-only signs

Hi, I have just added images of the respective signs to the table of the key variants to easier find the appropriate key. However, I haven't added the following three images yet, as I wasn't entirely sure which key should be used:

• 
  mlc:oneway or mlc?
• 
  mlc:wheeled_oneway or mlc:wheeled?
• 
  mlc:tracked_oneway or mlc:tracked?

According to my understanding, these apply to one-lane traffic only, which would support the keys with oneway. However, current tagging seems to use the versions without oneway. (There are many bridges tagged with only the second key, but not the first, but (almost) none with only the first key, but not the second.) Which should be used? --Entbert (talk) 22:17, 9 November 2026 (UTC)

Are these signs used with bridges that are only wide enough for a single lane of military traffic? Then the combination of mlc=* with lanes=1 or with width=<value too low for two lanes> might be sufficient to describe the situation. Biff (talk) 23:34, 9 November 2026 (UTC)
