It's useful to give the source of the maxspeed. So if you have a sign, just
put source:maxspeed=sign. If there is no sign, and source is the law, put
source:maxspeed=uk:urban for maximum speed in urban areas, and
source:maxspeed=uk:rural for rural areas. I don't know the laws in the UK.

That's the way we in Croatia mark maxspeed. That way if the default
maxspeed changes, it will be possible to change it automatically.
