Possible tagging mistakes
| Country | Sign | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Netherlands | 
|
This sign denotes a regulatory limit, which is always less than the physical limit, so it must be tagged as maxheight=4.2 instead of =4.2. Note the regulatory limit indicated by this sign only affects exceptional transports (the value is always ≥ 4 m). In the Netherlands, a proper value for =* cannot be deduced from road signs, but may be obtained from other information sources.
