lacrom_telenav has been adding highway=motorway_junction tags on exits from major roads around Perth - I think to designate destination signs. It is associated with "noref=yes"
The wiki says: Use the <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway> highway=motorway_junction tag to identify a point along a <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway> highway=* with junction refs or names where it is possible to exit the highway onto another road. This is usually found along a <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway> highway= <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway> motorway, but is also applicable to other roads with numbered or named junctions including some <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway> highway= <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrunk> trunk and <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway> highway= <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dprimary> primary roads. The instances I have noticed are not on roads with named or numbered exits, therefore I am thinking this tag is inappropriate. (I noticed it because it shows-up as an "e" on my GPS - which is a rendering issue I know) The wiki also says: <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name> name=* for the name of the junction or interchange. Do not confuse the name of a junction with the destination(s) the junction leads to. In most cases worldwide, sign information describes destinations, not the name of the junction or interchange itself. If a signpost or indication displays destinations exclusively, this data belongs to <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:destination> destination=* tags, not the <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name> name=* of the <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway> highway=motorway_junction node. I tried messaging this user a week-or-so ago and have had no response. What do people think about this tag? I don't know what he is trying to achieve. Ian
