Thanks for the heads-up. It has been fixed in changeset/93469331

You indicate that the speed limit on the main line through Moers is 120 km/h. To me it seems that it should be 100 km/h, because I didn't find any evidence of 120 km/h in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTl7VRd5qQM

What would you advise?

Oh sorry, I must have overlooked it. Thx

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the wms info. I don't see maxspeed information (likelf7 and lf6) on https://wms.michreichert.de/vzg-strecken-2017. Only lines and milestones. Am I using the wrong WMS service?
Best regards

Hi Nakaner,
Currently I'm trying to add maxspeed tags to St.Ingbert-Landau(Pfalz). I saw that you used DB data to do this partially, already. Is there any way I can access this dataset?
Best regards

I don't mind, if you don't mind. There's a broader discussion on this issue in the ORM mailing list at the moment. Still, I thought it would be better to ask you kindly.

According to the German definition, yes. I doubt that it is also a main line in the OSM definition: "Main line, mostly double tracked and electrified. Use this tag on railways with high maximum speed and dense traffic. Railway crossings are mostly elevated."
osm.wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging#Tracks

Would you agree?

Why would Sigmaringen-Tübingen be a main line?

Hello,
The tag that was used doesn’t exist. I simply replaced it with one that does. For the maxspeed tag, it is sufficient that a track section was designed for a certain speed (check OSM in China for example). If the Swiss authorities make a decision on a new speed limit later, we should change the maxspeed tag at that time (but not before that) in my opinion.
Best regards

Oh really? In that case it was a mistaken assumption. Thanks for pointing it out.

I can’t find “don’t tag maxspeed if maxspeed per direction is tagged” in the OpenRailwayMap tagging scheme. If it’s not rendered on ORM in that way, I could make an Issue and/or Pull Request on the ORM Github. Would you agree with that solution?

Why would it be contradicting?

Maxspeed tells something about the maximum allowable speed on the infrastructure. Maxspeed:backward and maxspeed:forward tell more specifically how this differs per direction; this is not an infrastructure issue, but an operations issue. Operations are not only influenced by technical properties of the track (like alignment) but also by safety margins that account for variations in train driver behavior.

Moreover, some OSM applications are not interested in the operational aspects. They only use the maxspeed tag. In cases where maxspeed:backward and maxspeed:forward are available, maxspeed should simply be tagged as the max(maxspeed:forward, maxspeed:backward).

Valid point. Thanks

What was your source for these maxspeed tags? I am trying to complete maxspeed tags around your changeset, but can't find good information

This German definition differs from the international definition. usage=* When looking on OpenRailwayMap, Germany is clearly deviating. Wouldn't you agree it would make more sense OSM used the international definition, rather than a different definition in each country?

Why would the railways to Sassnitz and Sassnitz Fährhaven be main lines? They're single track lines with a speed limit lower than 100 km/h. What is your source?

Warum sind die linien nach Sassnitz und Sassnitz Fährhaven usage=main linien?

Why would Werbig-Eberswalde be a branch line while Werbig-Frankfurt and Werbig-KüstrinKietz are main lines? Judging on the local character of the lines, I would think they're all branch lines.

Deze ways geven aan of een wissel een half-Engels wissel of Engels wissel is. Het is een overblijfsel van de ProRail import dat nog een keer opgepakt moet worden. De goede manier om dit soort gevallen op te lossen is door de way(s) te verwijderen en de centrale node (met railway=switch) te updaten met railway:switch=single_slip of railway:switch=double_slip. Als er één zo’n way langs het wissel loopt is het een half-Engels wissel (single slip) en als er twee langs lopen is het een Engels wissel (double slip).

Als mensen zich er echt heeel erg aan storen kunnen we er voor kiezen om ze gwn allemaal weg te halen. Met een filtertje op JOSM is dat zo gebeurd. Zou een beetje jammer zijn van de data, maar aan de andere kant: ik heb het ook al vier jaar niet opgepakt zie ik nu. Dus fair als het afgekapt wordt
