Note that "destination" signs
(http://www.trafficsign.us/650/guide/d1-2.gif) and "specific service"
signs

(http://www.okladot.state.ok.us/traffic/mutcd2003/htmVersion/htm/fig2f-01_longdesc.htm)
are two distinct types of signs and are NOT interchangeable (consult the
US MUTCD for more information). 

I would strongly reccommend against mapping specific service signs
unless you're able to find the service that the signs are directing
folks to (in which, map the service destinations appropriately).
