Indeed, that's what I meant. I don't put a speed on each residential road, because it's known to be 30mph without me having to say so. For non residential in urban areas, I still tend to use abutters to say this road is urban, but that's largely in lieu of a good way to say "this is an urban area" at present - but that's a different discussion. Where there is an urban 40mph, that's where I mark speed explicitly, or a primary or trunk rural road which is 50 (like many of Derbyshire's, for example).
