Hi
Are you sure that when you surveyed http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2030692588/history it was a speed limit sign? A truvello is normally a speed camera, but you would have noticed that along with the only 80kph speed limit sign in the UK?
I am sure this was a mistake, because making an undiscussed global mass edit that touches such a wide variety of tags would be wrong and I'm sure you wouldn't do that. -

This is an undiscussed mass edit.
Please revert it now.

This changeset has been reverted in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/35675358 .
LeTopographeFou, please do not make further mass edits like this. As you have found out from the comments that other mappers have made on your most recent changes, it's very easy for you to misunderstand what data means. Often data that is flagged as "invalid" by JOSM is very useful, because it highlights work by an inexperienced mapper or where something has gone very wrong (see https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/103231400 below for an example of this). If you change this data so that it no longer appears to be "invalid" it will still be wrong (what's in OSM won't match what's on the ground) but people won't be able to find the problem via QA sites any more. Also (like the Truvelo camera on the other changeset), if you don't understand what some data means, don't change it to something that you do understand. You can ask the person who added the data in the first place, you can ask local mappers by adding an OSM note, or you can ask on a country-specific mailing list or forum, or on an international list.
In response to your comment elsewhere, the Data Working Group does view changes that dilute the accuracy of data within OSM, when carried out as here in spite of the opposition of other mappers, as akin to vandalism and will revert them.
However, you are welcome to continue editing OpenStreetMap provided that you do not engage in mechanical edits that destroy the meaning of data like this.
Best Regards,

Comment from LeTopographeFou
Hi, Thank you for the revert SomeoneElse. No excuse for my defense, I have bitten off more than I can chew whithout understanding that by fixing tags I was introducing errors in some of them.
Reguarding the node Trigpoint pointed out, after an OSM/Bing/Google Maps survey it appears that this node is outdated: the maxspeed is 50mph and there is a node with the speed camera next to it. So this "80mph Truvelo" should be deleted I guess. -
Comment from SomeoneElse
Of course; we can't use Bing Maps or Google Maps for copyright reasons :)
However, in this case I can confirm that the speed limit on the A45 (at least the other side of Ryton on Dunsmore a couple of years ago) was indeed 50 mph. However maxspeed=80 (in km/h) is of course the same as "mapspeed=50 mph". There are plenty of West Midlands local mappers, so I'm sure they will correct if wrong (and quite possibly change the anomalous tagging that you spotted to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dspeed_camera - if there's still a speed camera there of course; in three years it might have moved).
