maxheight:physical expresses a physical height limit related to the tagged object and is used on ways mostly on highway=* while on nodes for example with barrier=* or amenity=parking. If no unit is included, the value is assumed to be in metres.
Example
- maxheight:physical=3.2 - maximum height is 3.2 m
Signs used for physical maxheight
Note
This tag is new, and still not supported by rendering or routing software, and should therefore be used together with maxheight=*.
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 maxheight:physical=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 maxheight:physical=* cannot be deduced from road signs, but may be obtained from other information sources. |
