The road signs plugin offers a dialog for selection of traffic signs from a list of presets. With simple clicks you can create combinations of signs and generate tagging suggestions.

See this page for basic installation instructions. Once JOSM has restarted, make sure you have the properties dialog open and some objects are selected. Then there should be a small button roadsigns.png in the upper right corner of the properties window that launches the dialog.

Usage

Click on a sign in the left area to add it to the selection. Recommended supplementary sign are shown on the right and can be added to the main sign by left click. (Note: The gray/disabled sign are selectable as well. Use at your own risk and check the results.)

When selecting very common signs and sign combinations, it should be save to accept the tagging suggestion. However you still need to take care of some basic things like adding the right highway=* tag (if not set by the plugin) and choosing proper direction of the way for incline=* and oneway=*.

Customization

Download the default preset. At the top ot the file there is documentation on how to install the customized preset file and make images available.

Currently there is a preset specialized for German traffic signs, only. If you like to maintain a sign preset for your country, you can open a ticket on JOSM trac and attach the files. You can also contact the author directly.

Feedback

Suggestions for better tagging and additional signs / sign combinations are welcome. Please leave a note on the discussion page. Major requests and usual bugs can be posted at the JOSM bug tracker.
