You fail to see the point of the tool, which is only natural when you 
don't even take a look at it yet judge ....    People spend hours in the 
wiki to find tags for a sign.  Probably the reason why people to do to 
much traffic_sign entries.  This plugin offers a way to intuitively tag 
a section with those signs in mind,  in 2 clicks you can tag a way , 
read the wiki explainations right inside the tool when you click a 
familiar road sign. Also a help text, displaying the meaning of certain 
signs according to the law.... and my best effort to keep it updated an 
correct, and tranlated.

I'm making it for myself anyway, so I keep my tagging consistent, just 
offering to share it.

The wiki is a maze of deprecated and new pages, I'm so greatful they 
actually redirect you to -whatever new tagging scheme has been voted by 
25 people last week-   It's good it is there, but I want to spend 
quality  time in JOSM, not in the wiki.
