<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I think the best way to tag a junction is
to combine all the elements into a ‘junction’ relation and then this
relation can be given an identifying reference and name. Note that the current
proposal does cater sensibly with a junction that has two different references
for different roads that join at the junction (see discussion page). A relation
makes it possible for rendering engines to just display a single point for the
junction when zoomed out.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

used to relate opposite carriageways of the same road. This relation may be
useful for renderers that need t draw a single line when zoomed out.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

most routing systems I've come across don't use names for on-ramps -<br>
they just call it 'on-ramp' or 'freeway entrance', so IMHO on-ramp names<br>
don't matter.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
