How can I map speed limits?
Recently, roadworks have been carried out on my road, completely changing the speed limits (new signs added, etc.). How can I add these to OpenStreetMap ID? I can't find the information online.

Key: maxspeed
Value: <number>
f.e.: maxspeed:50
Note that this implies km/h
If you want a simple way to map them, you can also use https://mapcomplete.org/maxspeed.html
To add to the other replies, you add it to the road. You can also add the speed signs if you want however
Ah, thank you! That's exactly what I was wondering!
@MXC48 The documentation for the speed limit tag is here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed
The "default" iD editor has a field for this if you apply a road preset to a way.
@openstreetmap
Are these new speed limits only due to the roadworks or are they permanent? If it's the former, I probably wouldn't bother mapping it, or only if the construction lasts for at least a few months.
These new speed limit are permanent, so I want to add them
