Colm, It is because no-one has added those details yet. Road sections can be tagged with what ever data we wish to tag them with. The OSM wiki describes how to use the tags. Speed on that section of way is tagging using maxspeed=* We use the ref=* tag to record the road reference number ie R999, L9999 etc
The following link is a visual layer which colour codes the speed limits stored in the OSM database and shows it on an OSM map. The small key on the right shows the legend/key for the colours. As you zoom in, minor roads will appear. Grey roads indicate that we do not have data available for those sections. http://www.itoworld.com/map/35?lon=-7.03486&lat=53.36929&zoom=8&fullscreen=true Notice that the North speeds are a yellow/green colour, this is because the speed limits here are in miles per hour, not km/h. I suggest you come along to #osm-ie and have a chat.
