Hi!
Please check typo(?) highway=street_sign on these two ways:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/403574708
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/403574710
Was it intended? Is it a traffic_sign=* ? -
Comment from oba510
It's not a typo. This is a pair of monumental stone street signs (the kind that have the name of the street on them, not a traffic sign) that were built as a formal gateway to the small subdivision on the east side of College Ave. These kind of stone-column street signs are fairly common on the west coast in areas built around the 1900's-1930's but there isn't really a good tag for them currently, and most are still unmapped.

What do you think about historic=city_gate?

Comment from GerdP
Ah, sorry, there is already a historic tag. I think the highway tag is obsolete here.

Comment from oba510
The highway=street_sign tag is there because it functions (both historically and currently) as a street sign. Looking at taginfo highway=street_sign is the most common tag for such features (even though it is undocumented).

That is true, the difference is that you have used the tag on a way, not on a node.
I also assume that many are mistagged traffic_sign=* or maybe tourism=information.
Question is why you want to map the sign,
I think the important thing is that the corresponding highway has the correct name tag.
