I am a Python newbie, but I think working with
l_value = None
would be the most pythonic way.

Of course in a function you can use:
def travel_time(from, to, speed=60):
pass
and if travel_time is called
travel_time(a,b,1000) the speed will be 1000
and if travel_time is called
travel_time(a,b) the speed will be 60
IMHO.
