It sounds like an acceptable way to punt the issue, so at least we're not arguing about it any more. And maybe once we tag this way for a while we can run an analysis of the tags and come up with something better? I'm assuming "signed" includes things that aren't strictly signs, like ground paint. And legal, perhaps, should be "unsigned", because signs also represent the law (though I wouldn't oppose if you'd rather just call it "legal"). I don't know. I'd like to hear others pick it apart before I decide. Ideally, I'd like to see the laws and signs of a dozen or two jurisdictions (on various continents) as well. I think this would work for Florida, but *:legal=yes/no is not something I'd ever personally tag (I think I'd have to tag just about everything with a yes); and *:suitable=yes/no is also something I wouldn't personally ever tag (as I believe it's just too ambiguous). But if it makes pretty much everyone happy, let's go for it.
