With this maxspeed debate, aren't we confusing two different data items.?
maxspeed is defined as the legal speed limit, but the speed we are discussing here is an average transit speed for routing purposes.
The 'real' maxspeed would be useful in applications like excessive speed warning, or notification of changes to the limit while in transit, even (on the future) as a physical limit for automated vehicles; as the average transit speed is a different value and is what is needed for routing
Shouldn't a separate data item (eg "routingspeed") be used, leaving maxspeed for what it is, the legal limit? Agreed. I suggested early that perhaps this option would be better labelled "speed" rather than "maxspeed". However, routingspeed is probably more specfic and might be even better.
