If you have a data set of nodes representing street signs, why don't you import them as such?
traffic_sign=BE:C43 maxspeed=30 source=? Of course you still need to manually match those to the ways and tag the maxspeed=* to them. But you can use the traffic_sign=* nodes to create a josm filter or even ask someone from OSMI or keepright to do a check based on a matching way in close proximity to such sign. You could list all imported nodes on a wiki page, so they can be reviewed by actual humans. I suppose they are not precise enough to 'really' denote the sign post, right? my 2 cents.
