Since nodes lack direction, but relations do... seems like a stop sign relation would be ideal, with multiple ways for the "from" role and the node where it applies as the "to" role, with the actual stop sign locations as the "device" role, similar to how enforcement is tagged. On Mar 19, 2017

This has the added complication that the way may have two-way traffic, but the sign doesn't apply to both directions. In fact, most signs don't apply to both sides of a roadway; instead, there will usually be a separate sign for both directions of travel. On March 19, 2017 2:56:02 PM yo

If micro mapping, then the stop sign is usually not in the center of the traveled way (though I have occasionally seen some there). For micro mapping, place a node for the sign where it exists on the side of the road and then use the compass direction to indicate how it is facing. As it is

I don't agree with this: marking the direction of the traffic sign is not noise, for a driver can be VITAL, also with the meaning of the traffic sign (the main purpose of a traffic sign). Why? Because in a way with two directions we need to know to what direction traffic sign it is for. It is not

Thank you for the insight. I don’t know that it is off topic though as any tagging scheme should be both achievable by a typical mapper and useful to any anticipated data consumers. Something that is easy for taggers but not useful to data consumers is just noise. Something that is useful for a

On the routing engine side these tags will be translated to turn penalties for specific turns, so the matching equivalent would probably be from,via,to relations. Which is not a feasible modelling in OSM realistically speaking. Simple stop signs could go on ways, but fail to capture more complex

Jumping in here to give a perspective from a routing engine (OSRM, https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend#open-source-routing-machine). We do not handle direction tags on nodes which indicate a property for a way or a turn at an intersection. The example with stop signs and give yield signs
