The "Direction" field in vertexes in iD such as stop signs or traffic signals is quite unclear currently, since "Direction" could either mean "Direction of traffic affected" or "Direction that the sign/signal faces". I was confused about this when I first started mapping, so decided to just not add that information. Many people have asked on places like the osmus slack about this as well.
This pull request changes "Direction" to "Direction affected" to make this easier for new mappers to understand without checking wiki pages.
One question: the
direction_vertex
field is, as far as I know, only used in situations where there is a "Direction affected", so let me know if changing the label of that particular field will cause any issues.
