Every holder of a driving license should have the requisites to recognize the speed limit on a given piece of road in their local area, so it doesn’t require specialist knowledge. We already have a reliable way to distinguish implicit from explicit limits (we even have several of them), if you want to treat them differently in your app, you can do it. There actually is a speed limit on most roads, including those without explicit signage. Omitting it will leave us in the situation that it really becomes unclear whether there is no sign or nobody has bothered to enter it.
