I still highway=give_way and highway=stop with
direction=forward/backward (which is used by OsmAnd AFAIK).

The opposite direction can be tagged with `traffic_sign:backward=*`. Formerly the `direction=*` key has also been used to describe the affected direction. But its common meaning has changed to Relative to Geographic North.

A preset needs to be based on a "toplevel" tag like `traffic_sign=*` not `traffic_sign:forward=*` or `traffic_sign:backward=*` (remember seamark? many of their tags have this issue too, where they put a value in the key part, and so we can’t turn it into a preset).
