I think the basic issue is that people do not conceptualize "trailhead" as the literal junction of the trail and the road that it crosses. The trailheed is a place with some extent, arguably an area, that covers the parking area and any other associated amentities, and has specific trail access points which are the junction of the trails and the parking/builtup area, even if the trails begin again on the other side of the car road. So it's an area with some specific nodes that are on the way of the area and also on a trail. > I would also characterize a tailhead as an access point to a trail instead > of the beginning of a trail. agreed, and it's not just any place you can get to the trail, but a place that people are intended to use to start on the trail. (I am pretty sure Clifford and I agree,, but explaining that in case there's a US-centric difference in meaning lurking here.)
