Re: Highway classification

The general rules are:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_Israel
However, we don't know exactly what "urban" means. Also, OSM does not always specify which roads have a built-up dividing area.

According to this site (and others I found by googling), there are also a number of exceptions, which may change with time.

So you can't rely on OSM for a definitive list. You could derive a mostly accurate list from OSM road information, but there would still be many errors. This link might help, but it might be inaccurate:

You could try asking the Ministry of Transport for a list of roads that are exceptions to the normal rules.

Re: Highway classification

The information you're looking for is: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed

I don't think it was set on any road. Is there a way to get a list of roads in Israel without this attribute set?
