yes, that's what we do as well, but it is different in that these are
explicit maxspeed limits, while a "city_limit" traffic sign is an implicit
speed limit (we are using both, according to which signs there are). We'd
also add source:maxspeed=sign / IT:rural / IT:urban / IT:motorway etc. tags
on the way with the maxspeed to say where it comes from (useful in case the
default implicit limit changes).

cheers,
Martin
