Shouldn't we have a proper discussion once about how we're going to translate 
all the traffic signs in OSM tags? A lot of traffic signs have different variations 
and if we just tag all of these under the same traffic_sign=* we're going to 
lose a lot of information.

We really need to know how to handle things like:

* B15 (priority on next crossroad) with different lines

* C5+7+9+? combinations where different traffic signs are combined into one

* D1 and D3 (mandatory direction) with different arrows which don't have 
separate names

* F45 and F45b (no exit, maybe except cyclists and pedestrians, maybe not on 
all routes), with different ways how the roads are laid out.

* F91 with different traffic signs on each lane arrow (recursion anyone?)

* F99a/b/c with different icons for pedestrians, cyclists, horses, and in 
reality variations are found with mopeds and even gocarts

* F103 for pedestrian roads with or without bicycle icon, other different 
exceptions possible for loading or unloading

* and what about all the big destination signs that can have exotic layouts?

* bilingual traffic signs, how to map those?

* and of course our governments and city councils are sometimes very creative 
with the traffic code...

So yeah, maybe start a wiki page so we can discuss possible implementations 
for these issues?
