Good point. Also, how about a straight section of road that becomes narrow (single lane) in one section, and therefore has a stop (or give way) sign on one side of the narrow section. There's no junction at all in this case. This is the risk with using a "fudge" solution (i.e. implicitly referring to another node using "proximity", rather than using a relation) - there could be other *unforeseen* cases that will break the fudge in future... _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
