[Tagging] How to tag road junction names and traffic signal names?

[Christian Quest]

Have you looked at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key%3Ajunction

"*junction*=yes <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Dyes> can
be useful for a simple junction node that has a name
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name>=*
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:name%3D*> tag"

I'm using that in the OSM-FR rendering... and even deal with
traffic_signals icon shift to display both icon+name. ;)

> Current situation:
>> We have the tags highway=traffic_signals (for traffic signals on road
>> junctions or at straight roads - typical for Japan) and junction=yes (for
>> road junctions with or without traffic signals - typical for Ivory Coast)
>> in use at OSM. Both tags are almost exclusively used on nodes. They can be
>> used together with name=*. This works quite well for simple crossroads
>> (example:

>>
>> Shortcomings of the current situation:
>> It isn't defined how to tag more complex cases.
