This usecase show that the country prefix is not useful.
those who add the panel in osm are not necessarily aware of the level
of government that can change its default value.
those who use the panel for routing either.
the solution would again to have a default:maxspeed on a boundary.
the panels should be simplified : maxspeed:type=urban <> zone <> sign

yes, a pannel saying "welcome to the Brussels-Capital Region"
with a pannel giving maxspeed default value on main road
