Validator for surface and maxspeed

[naoliv]

Like we have a message for unnamed ways, could we have a test for missing surface types and another one for missing maxspeed tag?
They would have an informational severity (and not warning level).

Reason for asking this: here in Brazil we have cities with some unpaved streets; since they are all missing a surface tag, it's wrongly assumed that they are paved (generating routes through unpaved ways, for example).

About speed, we can't assume that all residential highway, for example, have the same maxspeed. A test for maxspeed would help in closing this gap too.

Also asking for a test (at informational level too) for missing tracktype=grade* in highway=track is too much? :-)

naoliv, I personally wouldn't like to add a test for surface/maxspeed as those are optional attributes. However, you may want to use filters or setup a personal tagchecker (cf. trunk/data/tagchecker.cfg, install via Preferences » Validator » data sources, "Add").

tracktype [cs]ould be added as informational error …

[naoliv]

Even at informational level? (it's just, as the name says, informational, and not a warning or error)

There are map styles specially designed to map and maintain maxspeed and surface data.

You can now define these checks in your Brasilian Rules :)

Sure :-)
