Well it can't be highway=motorway_junction because motorways don't have level crossings, right? This image illustrates your question perfectly. http://alpsroads.net/roads/nj/gsp/n10.jpg Thank you for including it. If this were a motorway_junction (it isn't) the exit number would be in the ref tag on the exit node, so go with that. I would tag the ways as usual, highway="secondary" or whatever is appropriate here. highway="traffic_signals" ref="10B" If that is indeed a flare for the right turn to 657 Eastbound, I might mark the first node of the flare with the ref="10B" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
