It is a lot simpler than mapping out a relation or splitting a way etc etc etc and the only thing that benefits from stop sign information is routing software, editors don't, mappers don't so making it more complicated than it needs to be everyone except routing software coders.

How do relations make life simple for routing software. Surly its
folly the way, if we meet a stop sign add slight pause and continue. A
realtion is just another thing to look at, and handle.

The only time I can see a relation actually helping is with stuff that
is difficult to map like "no left turn"

Mostly I just see a relation as a thing to use for long distance
stuff. and hence I have never bothered with them yet.....
