I agree with Ross, that a new tag should be used. The sign you talk about
is not related to maxspeed.

Here in Italy, for example, this is achieved through square signs with a
blue background, which qualifies them as "information" signs. Instead, max
speed is indicated by round signs with a white background and a red border,
which means they are "prescription" signs.

Also how do you tag maxspeed which is unsigned? In Ontario the default

In Italy we've been using something like

maxspeed=50; source:maxspeed=IT:urban
maxspeed=90; source:maxspeed=IT:rural

Ciao,
