One of the listed values of the place tag is “neighbourhood”. And, in the one case where I mapped such a overhead sign, it was the entrance to a neighborhood. It was, in fact, the location you’d be taken to by the motor-rickshaw from the metro station when you gave your destination and was part of the address I was given to reach the residence in question.
But that was in another country than I live in. In my own country, it is much more likely that a development would have a sign to the side of a main way in. Mostly there for advertising. Nobody, or at least almost nobody, would ever use it to give directions or use it as a destination itself. So I guess the use of a place=neighbourhood tag might be dependent on the local situation. Is this the landmark the locals use for giving directions? If so, then place=neighbourhood is more likely to be usable by a routing engine than usage=welcome_sign.
