What about speed limits?

In the area I've been looking at, I've been trying to locate speed limit
signs at the edges of villages, break the ways at the speed limit signs,
and then apply appropriate maxspeed= tags to the separate ways. Am I
wasting my effort here (as no-one else has yet mentioned speed limits).

I have a niggling feeling that I'd like to be able to tag the points at
which the speed limit signs are located, but I can't see a way to do it as
there's a direction associated with the speed limit as well as the
location (the transition from one speed on one side of the sign to another
speed on the other side).
