This is probably a long shot, but I was just wondering if anyone here had access to some sort of road database that includes the speed limit as an attribute? It doesn't really matter what format... ArcGIS, Mapinfo, whatever...
The purpose is that I was thinking today that I would like to filter out all roads that are less than 70kph limits and all roads 100kph or higher. By doing so, I could plot routes that avoided major highways, but also avoided routes with small town after small town.
I found some freely available road data online, but none of it had speed limit data as an attribute.
I wish my GPS had an 'avoid city' mode.
EDIT... I might have found something at GeoBase... looking into it now.
