Organised Editing/Activities/Government of Yukon - Transportation Planning Branch
Rationale
The Government of Yukon uses Geotab in fleet vehicles to track vehicle speeds. Geotab consumes OSM data to pull speed limits. Since there are no speed limit tags currently applied to the highways it is running on defaults based on highway types. This is causing mis-reporting of speeding in some areas.
Using speed sign locations and information collected on the ground by field crews, the Transportation Planning Branch will appropriately tag all Yukon highways with speed limits.

Community consultation
The OSM community was contacted through the community forum here: Yukon Speed Limits
Hashtag
Edit changeset comments will include the hashtag #YukonSpeedLimits
Timeframe
Updating of the highway speed limits should be completed by the end of March 2023. Streets within communities will be the next step and will take longer as sign data as not be surveyed.
Tools and data sources
Speed limit sign data was GPS collected by government field crews. This data includes posted speed, direction, associated road/highway
