 The direction depends on the mouse location relative to the selected object, the direction of the way the object is part of and if certain keys are present for the selected object when pressing **`H`** on the keyboard. If the key `traffic_sign`, the key/value `highway=traffic_signals` or `railway=signal` are present the direction value is handled like this:

 For example the sign in the middle is a speed limit sign, with the default settings you have to point to the way segment that is affected by the sign, so the way with the speed limit. If the advanced preference is set and `Natural direction for traffic signs` is disabled you will have to point to the way in front of the sign, so to the way that hasn't the speed limit.
 
+If a simple direction is ambiguous for a selected traffic sign node a popup menu with the possible degree values is shown:

+While hovering with the mouse over a menu entry the way segment that is affected by the sign is highlighted.

 To force the usage of a degree value instead of `forward`/`backward` you can use the keyboard shortcut **`Alt+Shift+H`**
 
-For traffic signs that are on a node that is part of a way it's possible to use `traffic_sign:direction` as the key instead of `direction` with enabling the respective preference.

+For adding `roof:direction` to buildings two options exist. First to select the building, when pressing `H` the degree value will be calculated from the centroid/barycenter of the nodes of the selected building. So you have to point the mouse to the wanted direction relative to the virtual middle point of the building. Second option is to select one node of the building, pointing the mouse relative to that point in the direction of the roof and then pressing `H`. The resulting degree value will be added to the building and the building will be selected. If a point is shared by multiple buildings a popup menu for the selection of the building is shown:

+The arrow shows the roof direction that will be added to the building. When hovering over a menu entry the building the roof direction will be added to is highlighted. After selecting an entry the building the roof direction was added to is selected.
