If you read (and use) _only_ traffic_sign:forward - I suppose you read 
only the german wiki page and then I understand your problem, because 
that can not work in all cases.
If you read the english wiki page, you may understand the intention 
better - as there is also a traffic_sign:backward variant mentioned.

It shall work as in reality and as "computered" in the human mind:
Transform the information from the sign (node) to the way in the 
relevant direction - with all possibilities, but even all obstacles also ...

I do not support this "node on way" strategy - I use only the node 
beside way as tagging for the sign itself - and "always on the right 
side" ;-) - at least here in Germany.
