Is a road sign a combination of a base sign and then an identifier (e.g. road number)? If so then you can build those using a combination of classes (to define the base sign) and a label. This is the standard way of handling road signs.
The other idea, that is, SYMBOL [signcolumn] will be possible in 5.0 (see RFC 19) but might become problematic from a performance perspective.
