That's the same here in France (90 kph)

Yes, but that's very subjective data and a routing system can compute
basic data (shape, curves, width...) to estimate the "real" speed.
For me routing speed must be computed,it can't be a data into OSM...

Adding a tag for subjective speed would be complicate, depend on
drivers, weather conditions, night/day, etc...
I prefer we think of new tag to specify specific conditions (ie. this
crossing has a heavy traffic from 5 PM to 7 PM) it would be more helpful
for routing system than a subjective speed...
