It is an issue becasue the speed limit is on different lanes going in the same
direction.
I just checked and see that in OSM there is a speedlimit of 100 km/h on the
eastbound lanes. The speedlimit of 40 on the right of the three eastbound
lanes is not tagged.

Local situation is:
=========================
Cologne <- Limburg
-------------------------
Cologne <- Limburg
-------------------------
Cologne <- Limburg
=========================
Cologne -> Limburg (100)
------------------------
Cologne -> Limburg (100)
-------------------------
Cologne -> Limburg  (40)
=========================
