[Tagging] How to tag a point-of-interest sign

I think you should check your data.   Looking at USGS topo, that point 
does look very close to the continental divide.
Usually, but I suppose not always,  when you go over the divide you are 
going over a pass.  This one seems to be fairly flat so perhaps never 
got named.
I don't use mapillary, but according to the USGS topo loaded into 
qmapshack the divide crosses that road at
N35.005307° W108.081164°

I have seen a similar sign in NM that wasn't on the divide & I assumed 
it was a joke put up by a local prankster, but this one seems right.
