As the "complex intersections" section of the highway=traffic_signals page describes a gradation of model complexity (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals#Complex_intersections), maybe coexistence is also possible between simple tagging of a highway=stop+direction=forward node on the way to an intersection and a complex relation-based model for more complex cases: having a simple model that covers most cases has such significant benefit that I would say it more than offsets the cost of having more than one way to do it. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
