[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Tagging for complex junctions or traffic signals that are named

[Lukas Sommer]

Hello everyone.

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.

I have documented the current tagging practice for simple junctions at the
following new wiki pages:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Named_spots_instead_of_street_names

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Dyes

Furthermore, some more text has been added here:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals#Named_traffic_signals.2Ftraffic_signal_systems_.28Japan.E2.80.A6.29

Feedback and/or corrections are welcome.

The current tagging practice works well for simple junctions, but makes
problems on complex junctions. Therefore, the proposal
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tagging_for_complex_junctions_or_traffic_signals_that_are_named
has been created. Particularly if you are mapping in one of the concerned
countries please participate at the discussion at
