It's understood that the sign faces traffic approaching an intersection.
If a node with highway=stop is on a way but nowhere near an intersection,
or roughly halfway between two intersections, it

I think the main Mapnik rendering does not render ref on highway=*_link,
actually.

If a motorway link is part of a route (one needs to actually drive on the
link to continue on the route) then I put the ref for that route on the
link. Otherwise, no ref tag.

Excuse me if I don't understand the situation entirely, but I think the
problem is the actual access restriction or enforcement of it is different
from a literal reading of the signs. This must be the case if the signs
don't give adequate information to completely describe the restriction. In

built-up area.
I thought we used natural=* for this kind of thing.

Here's how I'd address the concerns in this thread:
tracks=*: number of tracks represented by the way having the tag, as per
wiki
total_tracks=*: number of tracks in the right-of-way of the rail line,
regardless of how many parallel ways exist. This sounds more like a tag

If you're using member roles to distinguish the oneway halves of a route,

Just contributing another data point on vocabulary…
I am a native English speaker from Ohio, USA. I have been aware of the
term "potable" for many years, probably since asking what it meant after
seeing a water source labeled "non-potable". I have seen that warning on
taps in public parks, and o

also make it easier to tag exits that split off of exit ramps which have
their own destination not even signed on the "parent" ramp, and make it
likely that routing engines would make sensible directions in such cases.
(Example in Columbus, good directions from the
tructions generated by a blind-navigation program, particularly
when based on data with streets and sidewalks separated, should almost
certainly include instructions like "Cross Drury Lane".
