This is something that was briefly discussed not too long ago and the
idea is that a road's speed or class can be modified by the
presence of a POI that defines new values for either/both of them. This,
hopefully, will make ways that have stuff like traffic signals and
crossings, etc. less attractive to route over.

The values are specified using mkgmap:road-speed and mkgmap:road-class
tags added to the POI.

These tags expect an integer value, optionally preceded by a + or -
which make the adjustment relative to the original value.

For example, mkgmap:road-speed=3 sets the speed to 3 and
mkgmap:road-speed=-1 reduces the speed by 1 from whatever value it had
before.

Here's some possible rules for the points file:

highway=traffic_signals { add mkgmap:road-speed = '-1' }
highway=crossing { add mkgmap:road-speed = '-1' }
highway=mini_roundabout { add mkgmap:road-speed = '1' }
  
Wow that sounds really great!
Will try it out tomorrow. Especially increasing it based on points sounds great

is road-speed a typo? Should it be road_speed?

Is it really the POI that introduces this change on the unit, or is mkgmap changing it based on the compile process?
I would never have thought that Garmin takes POIs into account when routing (will also have to see whether this works on all units in case it is not mkgmap).

This will really help to make city streets less attractive and pathes and footways that are outdoor more attractive (fewer traffic_signals, crossings, etc...).
The region of the way that has its speed/class modified is limited to
the closest points either side of the POI. Not sure if that's the right
thing to do yet. Needs playing with.

You need to specify the --link-pois-to-ways option to enable this
functionality.
  
The link-pois-to-ways adds no access restrictions if not specifically given in the style-file, does it?

Thanks for the last two mails, both really good things to get better routing!
All feedback welcome.
