[talk-au] Sign detections from OpenStreetCam

[Daniel O'Connor]

Ah, nice - and compared to the mapillary ones, has picked out school
zone/hours/etc very well (at least in the example provided)

Will be great when https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/4851 gets
into ID; possibly https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/5666 gets
sorted out too.
