Then just add stop=yes to all ways (or stop=both, or -1, whatever applies). However, I can't understand how a stop sign to all ways is in any way different from no sign at any way.

Fair enough. > If the stop nodes are very closed to the intersection, it's easy to find out > on which intersection the rule applies. How much close do you put the node to the intersection? That's arbitrary -- and I don't personally like that much :-) > In special cases or complex intersections, I would rather create a relation > as it is already proposed on the wiki. Still I believe a tag for involved ways would be much better than any kind of relation. Since junctions are composed of streets, tagging the streets on which you read a stop sign with stop=* doesn't add much complexity. Sure, it would then be software's duty to understand the tag.
