I think the reason they don't have maximum speed data is because there's no way anyone will ever reach it! I read somewhere that the average traffic speed in Makati is 12 km/h. Which means you might as well tag them all with Type 0. 

Suggesting a new slogan for Makati; "Normal rules don't apply"

PS. OK yes, I know that the max speed data is used to calculate the fastest possible time. Just having a bit of fun here.
