My personal preference is to use directional roles so that they match
what is written on signage. It also avoids the inevitable "which way is
forward and which is backward" question.

already less convenient, given that you had to upload to OSM and get
the relation number) being down. I've been leaving U.S. Highways
alone
(Interstates don't matter either way because they're almost always
dual carriageway), but this means that there's no way to check for
completeness of a relation.
How much uproar would there be if I started changing to
forward/backward roles in conjunction with checking for completeness?
Is there any benefit to the slightly increased amount of information
provided by the directional roles? Are there any other solutions? It
appears from http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/5109 that the JOSM
devs are not interested in supporting directional roles.
