@simon@en.osm.town @standupmaths@mathstodon.xyz #TIL I'm discovering this particularity, but some OpenStreetMap mappers aren't, it seems, and have already recommended maxheight indicates "Only one value with unit is allowed. Choose meters or feet/inch." and discern the roadsigns from the actual physical measures.
