[Talk-us] Tagging "next exit" services

[Chris Hunter]

Tag the first node of the offramp as highway=motorway_junction.  As far as
the sign itself goes, there's a proposed relationship for signs in the UK
and EU at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:destination_sign that
may be of some help.
