name:left=* and name:right=* are what the wiki recommends.  Local mapping
conventions might well decide to
use "Left Street / Right Street" instead or as well.

What if there are 2 streets signs on either end of the street with

Split the way and put the appropriate spelling on each half.  Put the other
spelling in alt_name.  Or leave it
as a single way and name it "Right Street / Wrong Street."

Yes, you've found a couple of examples where it's not possible/sensible to
map the reality well.  That doesn't
mean it's a good idea to not map the reality when it is both possible and
sensible to do so.
