It seems to me that the first and the third definitions should be
split into separate tags with the second definition deprecated.
I agree that this situation is suboptimal. The second meaning has
nothing to do with a direction but with a sense of rotation. So, I agree
it should be dropped first, if any.
Since the “forward” and “backward” values are most used, it may be
reasonable to keep the third definition of that tag even though it is
inconsistent with “traffic_signals:direction”.
I don't agree. The uses of direction for forward/backward are in the
same magnitude of order as for compass directions. A factor of 2 is not
relevant. Both uses have their tradition and they are not likely to be
mixed. The compass thing has more of an absolute direction than the
forward/backward one, as it only specifies a binary feature relative to
another oriented feature.
Best regards,
Carsten
