The database has been growing over the year, as has demand for a speed limits database due to the proliferation of mobile apps to rely upon it. It's wikipedia page is being misappropriated as a place to list the apps that use its data. [1]
The database asks for a donation from commercial works, though remains free to use. [2]
History
