This could be solved by adding a stop=yes allways=yes to a junction
node.  If the stop sign exists for only a few of the adjoining roads,
place the stop sign node to the side of the road it's placed on with a
side=right/left tag to account for which side of the road peope drive
on where the node is being placed.
