The key maxwidth specifies a legal restriction of the maximum permissible width of a vehicle in order to use a way or other feature (e.g. a gate). By default, values will be interpreted as meters. If the permissible width should be specified in a different unit, the unit can be added to the end of the value, separated by a space (see Examples). The value should always use the dot as decimal separator, if needed.
The source of the maximum permissible width can be specified by source:maxwidth=*.
Examples
| Width | Tagging | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Three metres | maxwidth=3 | Alternatively maxwidth=3 m could be used. |
| 3.2 metres | maxwidth=3.2 | Please note the dot as decimal separator! |
| 6 feet and 7 inches | maxwidth=6'7" |
Common mistakes
Actual width
Do not confuse the specification of the maximum permissible width of vehicles with the specification of the actual width via width=*.
Maximum physical width
Do not confuse the specification of the legally restricted maximum width of vehicles with the specification of a physical width limit via maxwidth:physical=*.
Incorrect values
Often the values themselves are not specified correctly. The following table contains examples of incorrect tags and their correct notation.
| Incorrect | Explanation | Correct |
|---|---|---|
maxwidth=3.8m |
The space between value and unit is missing. | maxwidth=3.8 m |
maxwidth=3.8 metres |
The unit 'metres' is not the correct unit. | maxwidth=3.8 m or maxwidth=3.8 |
maxwidth=0,6 |
The comma is used as wrong decimal separator. | maxwidth=0.6 or maxwidth=0.6 m |
maxwidth=7 ft |
The unit 'ft' is not a correct unit. Use x'y". | maxwidth=7'0" |
maxwidth=7' |
Do not forget to add the inch, even if it is 0. | maxwidth=7'0" |
maxwidth=2.3; 7'9" |
Only one value with unit is allowed. Choose metres or feet/inch | maxwidth=2.3 m or maxwidth=7'9" |
