We have a similar convention in the US for doing that, though usually requires tagging traffic_sign=maxspeed, maxspeed=?? mph in a few places, since there's often multiple "steps" from rural speeds to town speeds when entering a town or city (Oklahoma sense; Oregon would call anything incorporated "city" regardless of size, even when the town name more or less accurately describes the size of the city in question (Wood Village, Government Camp); neither state has the concept any other settlement types we have in OSM).
