Question Speed DE:rural

I have a question about speed.

Test route: https://kurv.gr/Pu2TF

In OSM maxspeed is tagged as DE:rural, what is fine from my point and would be 100 km/h (implicit maxspeed).

In Kurviger 80 km/h is used:

As Kurviger shows a value, the algorithm seems to know
“DE:rural” - but it seems 80 km/h is used instead of 100 km/h.

?

The speed limit varies locally, depending on road conditions, local conditions, etc

In this case, there is no sign for 80 km/h, but end of limit of 70 km/h (it is my local area), what means 100 km/h. It is at least, what I remember from my driving lessons. :thinking:

“Mein” TempoMaster zeigt brav 100 km/h (rechts oben) an der Stelle - nimmt auch die OSM-Daten, also DE:rural …

Aber vielleicht ist Kurviger ja nur der Zeit voraus? In Frankreich gilt ja bereits das Limit von 80 km/h (in Italien 90 km/h) - möglicherweise arbeitet man in Brüssel schon an einer Vereinheitlichung?

As I do some speed mapping in my local area I want to reopen this question.
Link to road segment: Way: ‪B 3‬ (‪815732193‬) | OpenStreetMap

Current - and from my point correct - entry is
maxspeed=DE:rural.

I am aware that Kurviger prefers explicit speed like …
maxspeed=100
maxspeed:type=DE:rural

… but as Kurviger shows a speed limit of 80km/h it is irritating. It seems to me that Kurviger gets the speed-limit somehow and reduces by 20% - as a defensive solution.

Any ideas to improve this as I am too shy to change the mappers correct entry maxpeed=DE:rural to the alternative entry above?

Currently, there is no option from the Kurviger side for this, it is something we have on our list, but nothing else I can share here, sorry :frowning:
