Tagging for highway exit signs

I have data on exit signs for highways. e.g. what the sign says, what exit it refers to, which lanes are affected.

Can I tag nodes with this info? Or should I tag ways? What tags could/should I use?

you "have data"? Surveyed on your own or got from somewhere else? – Please keep in mind that we cannot just use any data we find (copyright but also quality problems).

One Answer:

For mapping highway destinations/exits see:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:destination
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway_junction
As always: look at existing highway objects at other places (well mapped places) to see how other mappers handled this situation there.

Traffic signs themselves (as additional node objects) in general (I could not find those signs there): https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_sign
