Does anyone have examples of places where my suggested model does not
work?
It's not backwards-compatible with anything that uses exit_to. To get
the text of the sign you have to piece together the exit_to and
exit_to_dir fields.
It's the way it was done with the street name split a while back, though
I acknowledge that it isn't an identical situation, since we ultimately
decided the direction was not part of the street name. In this case, the
direction is an important part.
It's not even close to identical. It's very rare to have two parallel
streets with the same name except for a different directional prefix
(and in those cases the directional prefix should be part of the name).
On the other hand, it's very common to have two consecutive exits for
each direction of a road.
The question is still what benefit there would be to splitting it.
