  If it's just one street at the crossing of Bonkers Road and Moronic Parkway 
  then you can do
  
   stop=Bonkers Road
  
  to indicate that it's a two way stop on just that road of the intersection.
  
  Thoughts?

That doesn't work if Bonkers Road only has a stop sign on one side. I
know that some people don't like it, but I prefer the cardinal
directions specification:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:stop

It's unambiguous, and if somebody comes up with a better idea, can be
machine parsed and translated into the new scheme.

 But a stop sign isn't a restriction; it has the main effect of slowing
 average speed. If our router is so precise that the seconds added by a

 What's wrong with something like highway:forward=stop or

If the stop sign's location next to the road is explicitly tagged, about
the only feasible way to define it's direction is with a relation.

  Therefor I propose stop signs go on the intersection and save a lot of
  hassle with the tag

  highway=stop

I think your proposal can work, but you need to show how e.g. to mark 2
out of 5 roads at an intersection.

Also, roads are directional even if 2way so we could allow stop on nodes
on ways to be stop=forward and stop=reverse, but I agree this starts to
feel too hard.

Sort of related, I have been thinking that code to gather typical speeds
and now stop signs from traces would be a great addition.

I think that 4-way and 3-way stops can be handled unambiguously by
highway=stop.  More complex stops should probably be modeled with turn
restrictions.

type=restriction

A 4-way intersection where 2 opposites stop, A  B, and one continues,
C/or D, through, E, can be modeled with a single relation.

Eg:
from:A
from:B
to:C
to:D
via:E

3-ways with a single stop can be done similarly.

Adam

How does that capture intersections where one of the roads entering
and exiting the junction node doesn't stop? Are you suggesting that
highway=stop be added to the node before the junction?
