Hello everyone. In some countries (Japan, Korea…), people orient themselves in the local area using the names of road junctions or traffic signals rather then the names of streets.
I have documented the current tagging practice for simple junctions at the following new wiki pages: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Named_spots_instead_of_street_names http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Dyes Furthermore, some more text has been added here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals#Named_traffic_signals.2Ftraffic_signal_systems_.28Japan.E2.80.A6.29 Feedback and/or corrections are welcome. The current tagging practice works well for simple junctions, but makes problems on complex junctions. Therefore, the proposal http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tagging_for_complex_junctions_or_traffic_signals_that_are_named has been created. Particularly if you are mapping in one of the concerned countries please participate at the discussion at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Tagging_for_complex_junctions_or_traffic_signals_that_are_named Lukas Sommer
