Ouch. They are POIs, so, often near the middle of the way, probably
at a school door.<br>
The best you could do is extend them by 100 m both side.<br>
That would mean that the POIs' data wouldn't be flashing, that
nobody would care to check and that real bogus data would have been
introduced<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>like written before: either they are features (i.e. traffic signs) and then worth putting them into OSM or they are POI points somewhere in the middle of a way that has a certain maxspeed restriction, than they are pretty useless IMHO (they don't tell you neither the direction of the speed limit, nor the start or end), and I'd not import them. You could put them in OSB to encourage people to do a survey for speed limits there (but even that has limited usefulness).</div>
