city limit signs _are_ tagged with name. 93% or 191897 times:
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/traffic_sign=city_limit#combinations

What tag is used for street signs? Is anybody mapping street signs?

>From a semantic point of view, I agree that title could be seen as more
accurate, but from a practical point of view, it would complicate people's
life for no real gain, because they would have to look for 2 tags (title
and name) instead of one, and there won't be any names to put instead of
the current "name", so there isn't an actual problem with the current
situation.

Cheers,
