Tag it how?  You want to have two completely different ways to tag stop
signs?  What's your solution?  Stop signs are directional, whether they are
lane based or not.

I agree the case you gave is more common, but I don't think the case you
gave is a problem for any of the proposed methods of tagging stop signs.

That makes no sense.  You want to have lanes instead of ways?

Lanes are ways.
