How to map

The tag highway=traffic_sign can be used to map a traffic sign as an object at its actual location to clarify that a node represents the object of the traffic sign itself. Add traffic_sign=* to specify which traffic sign(s) is/are shown on the sign.

The implications of a traffic sign should always be tagged on the concerned section of the road itself as well. When mapping a speed limit sign for example: always add a maxspeed=* and a source:maxspeed=sign tag to the road itself (see traffic_sign=*).

Examples

B10a road sign in Belcastel.jpg node Node

highway=traffic_sign
+ traffic_sign=FR:B10a[10]
+ direction=260

Remark:

The implication of the traffic sign should also be mapped on the highway line (maxlength=10).

Parking zone sign and No Parking road sign, Sas Street, 2020 Lipótváros.jpg node Node

highway=traffic_sign
+ traffic_sign=HU:C033[30];E-034
+ direction=170
+ support=street_lamp

Remark:

The implications of the traffic signs should also be mapped on the highway line (maxspeed=30) and using the tagging for street parking.
