  4. > the Overture data format which provides consistent segmentation of the data and a linear reference system to support additions of data such as speed limits or real-time traffic

    Interested to see how the Overture Maps Foundation's linear reference system supports data interoperability: docs.overturemaps.org/themes/t

    It reminds me of the sharedstreets.io/ system (MIT license).
