Shouldn't we have a proper discussion once about how we're going to translate all the traffic signs in OSM tags? A lot of traffic signs have different variations and if we just tag all of these under the same traffic_sign=* we're going to lose a lot of information. We really need to know how to handle things like: * B15 (priority on next crossroad) with different lines * C5+7+9+? combinations where different traffic signs are combined into one * D1 and D3 (mandatory direction) with different arrows which don't have separate names * F45 and F45b (no exit, maybe except cyclists and pedestrians, maybe not on all routes), with different ways how the roads are laid out. * F91 with different traffic signs on each lane arrow (recursion anyone?) * F99a/b/c with different icons for pedestrians, cyclists, horses, and in reality variations are found with mopeds and even gocarts * F103 for pedestrian roads with or without bicycle icon, other different exceptions possible for loading or unloading * and what about all the big destination signs that can have exotic layouts? * bilingual traffic signs, how to map those? * and of course our governments and city councils are sometimes very creative with the traffic code... So yeah, maybe start a wiki page so we can discuss possible implementations for these issues?
