Well, I typically look at the english page, if I don't understand it, I check the german one as well. You are right, the german one doesn't even mention the :backward suffix. Still, there is no example that shows in detail how to use this tagging, and that's probably the reason for the mistakes. Also, JOSM doesn't seem to understand this tagging scheme.

If you read (and use) _only_ traffic_sign:forward - I suppose you read only the german wiki page and then I understand your problem, because that can not work in all cases. If you read the english wiki page, you may understand the intention better - as there is also a traffic_sign:backward variant mentioned. It shall work as in reality and as "computered" in the human mind: Transform the information from the sign (node) to the way in the relevant direction - with all possibilities, but even all obstacles also ... I do not support this "node on way" strategy - I use only the node beside way as tagging for the sign itself - and "always on the right side" ;-) - at least here in Germany.
