Normally traffic signs belongs to the road to the next  
intersection/crossing. Let's look how we tag maxspeed: From the sign to  
the next sign/intersection/crossing "the whole way". So if you come from a  
residential-driveway or by a u-turn, you can't see the maxspeed limit and  
you can't drive conform to it. So should we tag the maxspeed also at a  
very short section? (Router and other software has to must expand the  
maxspeed to the next intersection.)

I suggest it is better to add No. 3: motorcar:backward=no
The sign is there by a reason, and motorcars should not go to this  
road/direction. So OSM-data can give a person/software a bit of "more  
information" to show that the road/direction is "not allowed" (even but  
 from beginning).
