I think that answer's a little obvious. Usually I ask how long final is or use TCAS decipher that information, then make my speed adjustment as necessary or as instructed. But I never like to go fast in the wrong direction, whether I'm arriving or departing.

I was going to post the same thing. I had a senior capt. show me that little trick in CVG. Approach, what does our final look like today? If they say number 1 and you're at 250kias and 8K, the controllers know what you're about to do.

YES but I let them know first and if they tell me to keep my speed up I reply "then keep us in Bravo!" And I start to slow.
Controllers are not able to change the regs, they are restricted to them just as we are and if you get busted for breaking the regs, saying "they told me too" won't help you.

In reguards to the down wind question. I know that in class D and C with in 4 miles of the field the speed limit is 200 kts. Is this true for B also? I kinda follow the same mindset of 250 until you have to slow (by request or reg)

Maybe. If you need to get downrange to get outside the marker for an approach, it might make sense to go fast. I usually slow up abeam the field, but not always.

Not for the class B airport. This applies to class C, D, and an operating control tower in other airspace (temporary tower).

Keep your situational awareness by using your charts. If you have FMS and Glass - you might also build some rings around the airport on your multi-function display. This will help keep you more aware of where the surface ring and the next ring are located.
RED FLAG - Long finals with low altitude.

Maybe I'm old school but I don't ever recall ATC informing anyone that they were going to vector them outside of the "Bravo". The FAA notice of investigation is usually your first indication that you were under the Bravo and not IN the Bravo.
