Description
Problem:
In this image, a U.S. Route 95 highway shield is incorrectly detected as a 90 km/h maximum speed limit sign.
Expected Behavior:
The detection should either be excluded from the max speed sign category or reclassified as a U.S. highway shield (US 95). This type of misclassification could affect the accuracy of derived map data and signage interpretation in automated systems.
Suggested Fix:
Please consider revising the training data or detection logic to better distinguish between U.S. highway shields and numeric speed limit signs, especially where signs use shield-style designs.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported Mapillary image and tracing the Python traffic-sign detection entry point and associated training-data handling. Determine whether the highway shield is excluded from the maximum-speed category or reclassified, then verify the reported image no longer produces a 90 km/h detection and add regression coverage if the project supports it.
