Phil, the question appears to be for different signs/rules for
different lanes/turns but in the same direction.
António, interesting question. In my interpretation, relation
type=enforcement seems to be intended for recording or punishing
violations of rules (wiki "devices that measure and document traffic
violations") - not for the restrictive rules themselves.
Instead, maybe type=restriction + restriction=stop, with
from-to-via-position? It's not widely used, but it does have a couple
of mappers: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/restriction=stop
Possible examples:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3884744 except with "to" as a
way rather than node
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2966044 except probably with
the to-way split at the intersection
traffic_sign:lanes looks like it would also work, and the existing
examples seem a bit more fleshed out than for restriction=stop -
depends if you prefer :lanes tags or relations, I suppose.
