Parking entrance max height

[westnordost]

A new quest to determine the max height possible for an underground parking (and multi-storey parking).

The information is usually visible at the entrance.

+1. This is useful data, for so many users.

This would need to be able to add a metric or imperial height.

Which countries use imperial width/heights?

[chrisdebian]

The UK has some like this, but are gradually being replaced by metric signs. Chris.

Which countries use imperial width/heights?

Officially: they are Liberia, Myanmar and the United States of America.
Really, it's complicated.

I'd need a complete list

How is it handled in case of maxspeed? Aren't imperial/metric countries using same units for speed and for e.g. length?

Wouldn't it be enough to use the offical list of countries for the units (should cover most cases), show the unit and a small button that would allow switching between imperial/metric (this would cover the corner cases)?

[chrisdebian]

I think a way to toggle between imperial and metric, and a method of entering the height, like maxspeed, would be fine. Thanks, Chris.

How is it handled in case of maxspeed?

It is selected depending on the country and is neither displayed to nor can be changed by the user.
See speedUnit.yml.
This is why I need a complete list. That a country uses metric units for speed does not necessarily mean they use metric units for measurements. If anyone wants to help here, then this anyone could research this, i.e. looking at the distribution of values on taginfo.

Is maxheight an approved tag for parking_entrance? I can't find it on taginfo...

[westnordost]

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxheight
It is not necessary to mention every single possible structure where there might be such a sign.

BTW related issue: #447

Maxwidth could also be useful for this, could not it?
