How about adding forward/backward information to each stop sign node
instead? Would depend on way direction, of course, but as the stop nodes
would be placed on single ways rather than intersections, it would be
possible. Is there a reason why you didn't choose this approach?

(I do not have an opinion yet, I'm just interested in arguments for the
different options.)
