Using a relation has some advantages: * it connects the stop requirement to the junction node (you can look at the junction node to see that there is a stop requirement) * if the way leading to the junction is split/reversed, the relation still works (although it will have two way members, so it's slightly broken) With the current editors, it's not hard to add relations, and a stop relation is almost self evident how it works when viewing it, but the tags proposed for the way needs to be looked up to be understandable. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
