This is an unsolved question... Some may use directions like N/E/S/W for
north/east/south/west. But then you also need to be able to attach the

I would rather use the left / right suffixes in stead of directions, as
they define the position always clear
(eventually forward / backward, but it seems somewhat deprecated)

But this doesn't work for single nodes not connected to a way.
Left/right/forward/backward become pretty meaningless on single nodes :-)

When the node is not part of the highway, its position left or right
from the highway is enough to determine the apllicable direction of the way.
But I would always tag nodes of the highway itself, for not having the
confusion where a node belongs to.
Apart from indication of the exact position, I don't see any good
reasons to put signs outside the highway or to map them as sign in the
first place.
Their consequences are applicable to the highway segments an that's what
and where it should be tagged.
