Could someone explain the tag highway=stop provided by the 'Map Features' page ? I would expect that all tags approved and moved to this "reference" page are clearly described. I found a wiki page ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mapping/Features/Junction) saying : "Intersections with stop signs should be tagged highway<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:highway> =stop<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Tag:highway%3Dstop&action=edit>. Intersections with traffic signals should be tagged highway<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:highway> =traffic_signals<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals&action=edit> ." But at the end of the page, an important note says: " Should highway <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:highway>=stop<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Tag:highway%3Dstop&action=edit>and highway <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:highway>= traffic_signals<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals&action=edit>be used to mark the intersection or where the physical stop sign/signal is? What about junctions where not all directions are signed/signaled?"
Well, fine, the foot note on the wiki page explains that the main description is a non-sens... Shall we put the node on the way where the sign is, a little bit before the intersection (and how much) ? or is it planned to use a relation ? or does it really help to tag such signs (I mean, it does not influence routing) ? or should we remove this tag from the approved Map features and create a proposal wiki page where a clear definition could be done ?
