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

[Lukas Sommer]

Some random thoughts about names for the area tags:

junction=yes on nodes
For areas:
– something that contains “junction” and “area”
– junction=area ?

highway=traffic_signals on nodes
For areas:
– something that contains “traffic signal system” (also “system”!) and also
“area”
– maybe not traffic_signals=* which seems to have either another meaning
– highway=traffic_signal_system_area (quite long)?
