landuse=residential is just used where there are houses, not necessarily 
a bebouwde kom.

I think we may need some new way of tagging, when doing the 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Access_restrictions 
page I was thinking along the lines of a normal maxspeed=50 (or 30 is a 
few cases) access relation with a special tag zone=yes or 
zone=built_up_area. And then add all roads in it to the relation (and 
this also leaves the possibility to override the maximum speed on the 
ways itself).

This way of tagging allows all zone signs that popped up recently: 
parking restrictions, zones that don't allow vehicles over 3.5tons etc.

Now if only we could work out that proposal :-)

But for now, indeed the only possible option is to add maxspeed=50 (or 
another speed if F1 has speed limit above it) to all roads in it.
