I guess it's just because I made a late posting :-). I'm interested in keeping this discussion alive, as I've encountered myself ways with features (speed limit, number of lanes, even access restrictions) where a different tag value for each driving direction was required.Another way to do it that hasn't been mentioned yet is appending a ":left" / ":right" or ":forward" / ":backward" suffix to the tag. E.g. use "maxspeed:forward" if the speed limit is in the same direction as the way is drawn on screen (visualised as arrows by JOSM). As it's a common set of suffixes, it makes automatic evaluation of those tags easy, without having to use multiple values with the same key (as would happen if you'd encode it in the value instead of the key).
If you think the proposal best fits your needs, go ahead and use it anyway. If, in the future, there's a consensus on how to tag those things (that differs from the way you mapped it), you can still change it. I don't see a hostile comment on the Segmented Tags proposal, but anyway: Unfortunately, there's currently a (small) number of people playing dictator in the wiki. I hope this will get sorted out within the next few month, but for the time being, please just ignore those little battles (hostile comments, pages getting moved or deleted, etc.).Unfortunately, the page looks rather cryptic to me, and I see no examples.The page also states that it is currently only a proposed relation, the currently agreed on method for achieving its purposes being by splitting the way. I also read hostile comments to this proposal in the discussion page.
