Actually, I was fixated on highway=traffic_signals and got carried away in sort of hijacking the thread to mention its proper positioning while losing the point of the discussion...
My position in regards to highway=junction vs. junction=* is neutral - though I consider the everything=yes trend as namespace pollution. So : - junction=* if there is enough diversity to justify that namespace - highway=junction if junction=yes is going to represent most of the junction=* space _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
