iD will also do this change when reversing a way.

Are you saying iD doesn't recognise all these tags with > forward and backward subtags? Nope, not saying that at all. > I give you a solution: make two presets: one for traffic_sign:backward and > other with the same values for traffic_sign:forward. That’s a bad solution, so instead we’re going to solve the problem of indicating traffic sign direction the same way it’s already solved for traffic signals. `traffic_sign:direction=forward/backward` - simple. I will even convert all the existing traffic signs tagged with `traffic_sign:forward` or `traffic_sign:backward` to work this way if you want. It’s an unambiguous tag change. I wouldn't know how to explain to mappers when to use a “Traffic Sign” vs a “Forward Facing Traffic Sign” vs a “Backward Facing Traffic Sign” much less translating these concepts to dozens of different languages.
