I remove it when I've adjusted the road geometry to match the satellite 
imagery. After physically going there and taking a pic of the signs and 
resolving any inconsistency, I tag the way with e.g.:

source=usgs_imagery;survey;image
source_ref=AM909_DSCU5105

where DSCU5105 is the serial number (filename) of the picture.

Thinking about it further, it's probably correct to add source=usgs_imagery 
(or yahoo_imagery) at the same time as removing the tiger:reviewed tag.

Since the problem with 99% of the TIGER data is the geometry, I think this 
is reasonable.
