The proposed tagging doesn't make any sense to me at all. guard rails neither 
will get maxwidth tags, despite the fact they're the physical reason for an 
actual maxwidth.

indeed traffic_sign=* nodes are completely useless for common routing software 
(maybe there's some software that could automatically interpret them, but 
that's not the reason why I map them, I'm doing it for other mappers to explain 
my mapping).

I'd expect on the highway:
highway=*
maxwidth=2.2m (or without explicit unit)
source:maxwidth=sign

then on another way at the position of the guard rail:
barrier=guard_rail


If you like you could add another node (not part of the highway) with:
traffic_sign=maxwidth 
maxwidth=2.2

(for fellow mappers / as 'landmark')
