Yes, clipless pedals are appropriate for the urban commuter.
I live in Atlanta (LOTS of traffic

) and have Shimano M535 (SPD) two-sided mountain bike pedals on my commuter.

They work great in traffic when you might be "hurried" by the cars behind you since they are two-sided. Don't have to worry about them being upside-down like one-sided pedals (Look, Ritchey, etc.).
Clipping in and out is easy.
