this assumption is not correct.
Indeed it more incorrect than tagging trafficzone=* on the Ways itself, 
becasue nether private property nor public parcs, nor anykind of other 
tracks are part of the official traffic-zone, but with a polygon you 
implies this, and thats a big incorrectness.

So tagging it on each way is:

- much more accurate
- easier for beginners, becasue the only need to know 3 Tags: highway, 
trafficzone, and maxspeed (for explicit restriction)
- easier for applications because they do not need polygons at all (e.g. 
for routing or speed-controlling)
