“stop:forward=yes” & “stop:backward=yes” seem like they are putting a value in 
the key as the stuff to the right of the equals may never be anything other 
than “yes”. On the “lanes:forward” and “lanes:backward” keys at least the 
values carry variable values.

There is already a “traffic_signals:direction=forward | backward” usage. 
“stop:direction= forward | backward” and “give_way=forward | backward” would 
fit that schema too.

Good point. Although one might suggest that it is a theoretical situation as 
the definition of the stop tag [1] indicates that if on the node connecting 
multiple then it is a all way stop. And if not on an intersection node then it 
should be placed at the stop line. [2] I don’t think we are likely to have a 
stop line in the middle of an intersection. :)
