<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone.<br><br>In some countries (Japan, Korea…), people orient 
themselves in the local area using the names of road junctions or 
traffic signals rather then the names of streets.<br><br>I have documented the current tagging practice for simple junctions at the following new wiki pages:<br>
<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Named_spots_instead_of_street_names" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Named_spots_instead_of_street_names</a><br><br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Dyes" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Dyes</a><br>

<br>Furthermore, some more text has been added here:<br><br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals#Named_traffic_signals.2Ftraffic_signal_systems_.28Japan.E2.80.A6.29" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals#Named_traffic_signals.2Ftraffic_signal_systems_.28Japan.E2.80.A6.29</a><br>

<br>Feedback and/or corrections are welcome.<br><br>The current tagging practice works well for simple junctions, but makes problems on complex junctions. Therefore, the proposal <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tagging_for_complex_junctions_or_traffic_signals_that_are_named" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tagging_for_complex_junctions_or_traffic_signals_that_are_named</a> has been created. Particularly if you are mapping in one of the concerned countries please participate at the discussion at <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Tagging_for_complex_junctions_or_traffic_signals_that_are_named" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Tagging_for_complex_junctions_or_traffic_signals_that_are_named</a><div class="">
