Each item is added to the tag if the information is in clued on road signs. The tag has the following sub tags color, icon, description, direction and text. The text sub tag is used to add additional text that is not a part of the name or ref. For example the city a road way leads to often include on a road sign. Description is for descriptive information that needs to be interpreted by a person rather map generation software. Direction is north,south, east,west.
There is a separate tagging scheme for destination and directional information. [1] Many major highways have been tagged this way. Hopefully OSM-based navigation software would begin to make use of these tags, because relying solely on names and refs on ways would lead to a lot of missed turns, regardless of the criteria for using the `name` tag.
