Think this is a misinterpretation.

We do not need this tag to tag a cul-de-sac. There are other ways as
even the geometrie and connected ways give you this information.

If you want to tag the sign that is fine, please use traffic_sign=*.

I am trying to find reasons why it is used that much on ways and if it
is useful but you are the first one in favour of ways.

If you have a look at the wiki history you will find wiki fiddling some
years ago, later the activism on the page was little.

I am still looking for good reasons to use it on ways but I did not find
any so far. Please, tell me if you know some.
