Some of them might be placed in their own right, like the Light Horse one. I thought they were unfinished power poles at first, but no, that's art!

They are navigation things that 'we' use to signify where to turn or go straight on ... so usefull for navigation. There was some talk about named highway junctions or was it traffic lights being used in Japan .. will have to look that up. If there are no suitable highway tags then place=* might be best? Don't know. On 16-Sep-17 05:25 PM, Ben Kelley wrote: I agree. highway=motorway_junction is to mark where you exit the motorway. An aside: Exits from the Hume Motorway/M5 have exit numbers now as you approach Sydney. - Ben.

Calga Interchange https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4860741425 Sir Roden Cutler VC Memorial Interchange https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2130503470 Light Horse Interchange https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2130503373 Pearces Corner https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4860741524 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/937430705 Top Ryde Junction https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4860741431 Meccano Set https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4860741423 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/390666005 The wiki page for highway=motorway_junction https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Ahighway%3Dmotorway_junction is more about exit points along a motorway which may have a name or number (ref), not so much for an interchange. So I don't think this is the right tag to use. Plus JOSM warns it must be connected to the way, which further confirms it's the wrong tag. The proposed feature highway=junction https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/highway%3Djunction looks like it's mapping out interchanges, so it seems like a better tag, but it is less commonly used and still proposed. I'd prefer to change them all to highway=junction, and better yet convert them to areas. I think it's fine to use tourism=attraction where it is such, like Meccano Set, but it seems a bit of a stretch... Though this shouldn't be the only tag.
