Ordinarily, my method of collecting data for speed limits is either as a 
passenger with GPS+camera or Video+GPS.   The road is generally split 
where the speed limit changes, so in OSM terms, I would think that we 
would expect an absolute worst case of 10 meters to identify where a 
speed limit changes.    I would be surprised if their reports would have 
this level of detail and accuracy.

   But the data would be useful to catch the case of their reported 
speed mismatching a long stretch of road in OSM.
