Status: undefined

The speed limit is set by a construction sign, must be combined with maxspeed=*.

This tag allows systematic return to permanent limits once the work is completed.

Note that some mappers and/or regions prefer to use source:maxspeed=*.

Important note: only use this if the speed limit is likely to be in force for months or longer (i.e. major construction rather than short-term work) - see the guidance Don't map temporary events and temporary features.
