It's simply failing when someone is reversing the way direction with its prefered editor... I will repeat here what I already said about traffic signals : I also don't like relations in general excepted when we have no alternative. Everybody shall be able to add a node saying "here is a traffic light" or "here is a stop sign". But once you want it to be workable by software, it will need to be linked to its intersection. And for this, the best solution is the relation. It could be even added half-automatically (with some manual validation) when it's missing by searching the nearest intersection (could be a job for a QA tool). I guess something similar is done for speed traps.
