I mapped a road which had different maxweight restrictions depending
on which way you entered it:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/55165330
I used maxweight:forward and maxweight:backward based if I remember
correctly on IRC discussion and this wiki page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Forward_%26_backward,_left_%26_ri
ght

No relations needed. In your case you would only need to tag either
forward or backward depending on the way direction.

Whether routers spot these tags currently or not I don't know; I
personally doubt it. But they may in the future if they don't
already.

I hope this helps,
