The stop sign itself generally adds just a fraction of a second to your trip (if you obey them, anyway). I don't think the stop sign in itself is going to be very directly useful for routing. However, I can see a lot of uses for it combined with other data, such as for statistical analysis.

Wouldn't work (in the US) if someone mapped the stop sign on the left hand side of a one-way road. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
