Re: [Tagging] Named junctions

Hi Javbw, I want to confirm your point. *You want to establish a new tag such as traffic_signals_area to solve multiple signals rendering. *Opinions on the new tag are welcome from Japanese/Asian community because rendering of traffic signal and its name is very important for (car) navigation in

Re: [Tagging] Named junctions

Surely this is a rendering problem? In other words, if there are many named traffic lights within a certain distance of each other then only one symbol/name/whatever should be rendered? If the traffic lights are all tagged the same then it ought to be even easier. Adding an area with a tag is

[Tagging] highway=residential_link

A question recently came up as to whether highway=residential_link is a meaningful tag or whether uses of it should be changed to some other value (like highway=residential or highway=service). This tag has no description in the wiki, though it is analogous to the other highway=*_link types

Re: [Tagging] highway=residential_link
