<p>good points, I should have written traffic_information=* instead of information=*</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I also like the idea to separate advisory traffic signs from others, presuming that the laws</p>
<p>are clear about this. <br>
</p>
<p>We have several different tags like highway=distance_sign, highway=rock_slide, highway=motorway_sign</p>
<p>etc. on nodes which are probably all informational traffic signs.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Maybe we should move this discussion to the "More human readable values for traffic sings" thread?</p>

<div>Considering the sign is purely for motorist, not tourists, I think it is still very much a traffic sign. But traffic_sign has no framework for non-law signs. </div>

<div>no one is going to go find this sign to check something - it is only relevant information for passing motorists. </div>

<div>A rest stop with a map of the area and tourist pamphlets is most certainly information=* </div>

<div>There are all kinds of non-speed road condition traffic signs - slippery when wet, beware falling rock, warning animal crossing (deer boar, monkey, and Tanuki in Japan), and other static traffic signs we would see on a motorway, but I don’t think anyone
would put them in information=* - these matrix signs are the same thing, but updated to show current conditions. They are still very much traffic signs. </div>

Perhaps traffic_sign:advisory=* needs to be made. </div>

Those signs I mentioned are not in the wiki, nor are the common temperature signs found on roadways in the mountains (which seem to be very different from the information=* ones. </div>
