After thinking more about the tag name question: It may be useful to use for the complex situation at least the same key as for their conterpart in simple situations. This is intuitive (usability), and at the same time the tags for the simple and for the complex situation are mutually exclusive, which can be practical. Means:
Korea: – simple: junction=yes – complex: junction=junction_area Japan: – simple: highway=traffic_signals – complex: highway=traffic_signals_area I’ve updated the proposal page on the wiki.
