This is what I found with my Fiesta Active....The changes were made even when signs were absent, making me think that the navigation system had something to do with it. Not sure if that is correct, but it certainly changed when no signs were present.

Yes, I loved it, wasn't an easy decision to change to the Puma. However, not regretting it so far.

Took my ST Line x first edition in today to have the speed sign recognition system looked at. The dealership carried out a software re calibration of the IPMA monitor located in the windscreen camera.
The car now appears to pick up every sign I encountered on the way home.
Let’s hope this has cured the problem

Look further down at Stevep999's post. The bit about 'Software updates'.....Take a screen shot into them.

Code is G2079120, but your local dealer needs to look-up your car in ETIS and not rely upon their memory of service bulletins and recall notices! ETIS will tell them what modules have updates available. As your car is approaching one year old (my guess based on your servicing thread!) you've probably a bunch of module with updates available.

I havd heard dealer's are reluctant to do updates unless you specifically complain about the issue they fix. I currently have a PCM and APIM on ETIS but no idea what they fix.
