    <div>Hi Lukas,<br>
      <br>
      yes, then 4 would be easier than 1. Unsure if it would be easier
      than 3 though, because for 4 you would need to include ways which
      we would need to exclude for routing (counterintuitive?).<br>
      <br>

            <div>Hey Peter.<br>
              <br>
              Thanks for your response.<br>
              <br>
            </div>
            Indeed we didn’t want to simply “map towards the routing
            engine”. But we would like to here varios opinions – if
            routing is possible, if rendering is possible, and over all
            if it is suitable for the community (=easy to use).<br>
            <br>
          </div>
          The idea of possibility 4 was to draw an area more or less
          there where you find the junction on the ground. <a href="http://www.file-upload.net/download-9283152/junction_mockup.png.html" target="_blank">http://www.file-upload.net/download-9283152/junction_mockup.png.html</a>
          has a picture (didn’t know where to upload elsewhere, sorry
          for inconvenience). The green line is the way in OSM that
          forms our junction area. The blue points are nodes that are
          shared between the area and the incoming/outgoing ways
          (highway=*).<br>
          <br>
        </div>
        The reason for this idea was that is is easier to use for
        beginners. It is less complex than a relation. And you do not
        have to duplicate information like in possibility, so you will
        probably have less work to do it – and less spelling errors in
        the database. Our idea was that its maybe easier to use for
        routing engines that possibility 1. Is this correct or no?<br>

              <div>Hey Lukas,<br>
                <br>
                first of all, I think one should not map towards a
                routing engine or renderer although I sometimes wish it
                was ;). Instead I would try to make it how it is in
                reality.<br>
                <br>
                Of course from a programmers perspective point 2 would
                be the simplest. But point 3 would be probably closer to
                reality and also easy to implement.<br>
                <br>
                I'm not sure I understand point 4: will the area be
                connected to the ways or just 'overlap' the area where
                the way form the junction? Then this would be as complex
                as point 1 to implement as one would have to query some
                spatial helper datastructure, but maybe point 1 is the
                hardest (just guessing). <br>
                <br>
                1 and 4 are of course not impossible, but more complex
                than 2 or 3.<br>
                <br>
                Regards,<br>
                Peter.

                      There are currently some efforts to get junction
                      names and traffic signal names rendered in
                      openstreetmap-carto. The tagging for complex
                      junctions isn’t yet well defined. So I would like
                      to hear your opinion and your advice about which
                      of our ideas would be suitable/best for
                      routing/turn-to-turn navigation.<br>
                      <br>
                      Background:In some countries (Japan, Korea, Ivory
                      Coast…) people orient themselves in the local area
                      using the names of road junctions (like crossroads
                      or roundabouts) or traffic signals rather then the
                      names of streets. While street names also exist,
                      they are not important for orientation. (Note:
                      This is about orientation in the local area, thus
                      different from the names of motorway junctions
                      who’s names serve for orientation at large
                      distances.)<br>
                      <div>
                        <div><br>
                          Example: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Junction_yes_example_2.png" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Junction_yes_example_2.png</a>
                          <br>
                          <br>
                          Possibility 1: A simple node in the middle of
                          the junction. This node contains the name of
                          the junction. The node is not connected with
                          any of the ways.<br>
                          <br>
                          Possibility 2: All shared nodes (of the
                          crossing ways) contain the name of the
                          junction.<br>
                          <br>
                        </div>
                        <div>Possibility 3: A relation contains the name
                          of the junction and has all shared nodes (of
                          the crossing ways) as members.<br>
                          <br>
                        </div>
                        <div>Possiblity 4: An area contains the name of
                          the junction. The area covers the outline of
                          the physical area of the junction on the
                          ground. The area shares individual nodes with
                          all incoming and outgoing ways. (In the
                          example: 8 shared nodes)<br>
                          <br>
                        </div>
                        <div>From the point of view of a developer of
                          routing/turn-to-turn navigation: Which of
                          theses solutions would be perfect, which would
                          be still acceptable, and which would be a
                          no-go?<br>
