While I agree completely at avoiding relations, that's a hard task for 
the router.
It's extremly much work to take in account data combined with the data 
you need only via the coordinates as source.

For a stop sign I would add these as node at the street, as it's 
proposed - and without tagging the direction it has to be considered.
With this approach a router has to calculate what direction the sign 
applies, but the street is known.

Tagging the street sign (with pole and painted metal plate) is also a 
good idea - it's a barrier for pedestrian, a pole where a cyclist can 
lock his bike perhaps and much else; but it's not useful for routing as 
the preprocessing is very expensive.
