Sorry, this is useless. We could just use highway=stop and teach routing software that they're valid only if coming from a certain direction, decided on a distance-from-nearest-junction basis. This is what we're (I am, at least) trying to avoid: arbitrary placement of real-world nodes -- if we all had 1cm-resolution GPS units, then we would just use highway=stop. IMHO, YMMV. > Such a scheme can be easily interpreted as: when you pass over a node > highway=stop that is a member of a relation type=stop with role stop_from, > then you must stop at the node of that relation that has the role stop_to. No, you must NOT. In this case, you would stop in the middle of the intersection. A stop signal instructs you to stop *before* the intersection. :) Kindly, David -- . ''`.
