Astar: How to change speed when entering an area?

Is there a way to change a TaskExecuters speed depending on its location on the A Star network?

In my model the forklifts are moving faster in the “main road” and slower when they are close to the operational areas.

I am aware that this question have been asked before, but the answer is not relevant for Astar, only for AGV network.

One solution, if possible, would be to split the travel job up to give it intermediate locations and change the speed using the tasktype nodefunction between multiple travel tasks.

Another way could be to use the agent system to detect entering and exiting the zone and preempt the travel task sequence with one that just sets the speed using task type nodefunction (calling the te's label 'setSpeed' which sets the MaxSpeed property).
