What value should we use for source:maxspeed=* in built-up areas when
there's no signage or road markings, just street lights? Specifically
the concept expressed in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Built-up_area_%28Highway_Code%29
Searching taginfo suggests:
* "source:maxspeed=GB:built-up_area" (+ var: "built_up-area"...)
From 1385 uses without GB: or UK: prefix for the somewhat uncommon
maxspeed:default=*, but we could use it for the more usual key too.

* "source:maxspeed=GB:restricted_road"
From 394 uses of similar-looking things in taginfo, most of which are
UK: prefixed.

Any other possibilities? I think I prefer the former even if using both
a hyphen and an underscore make it ugly and error-prone. It's the more
common term in everyday parlance, and we're not doing designations here.
There don't seem to be any relevant matches for "lit" or "light".
I'm planning on making a presets bundle for them, so values would need
would need to fit alongside GB:motorway, GB:nsl_dual, GB:nsl_single.
