Don't forget the intent of the requester's original question, i.e., how to 
tag an exit with the amenities available at the exit without knowing 
exactly where they are located. It's really about the information, not 
about the source of the information (the sign).

My first thought was a relationship of amenities to the exit ramp, but the 
amenities have to be tagged to something to add to the relation.

One option might be to put the roadsign in as a poi, with the amenities 
listed, then make an "accessible" relation with "from [the ramp]" and "to 
[the road sign]". However, "to the sign" is not an intuitively obvious 
relation, so I think it would require more work.

Just a thought.
