I've sometimes done this myself, when there is not a single intersection node. For example this is a big hairy road junction: <http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.75132&lon=-3.33281&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF> A middle ground between that and a simple crossroads is something like this <http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.781057&lon=-3.070597&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF> where the bit of road in the staggered crossroads gets the name. However, for a simple crossroads, tagging the intersection is the right thing. -- Ed Avis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
