I see what you mean, but the stop sign does NOT apply to just an
intersection - it applies to a way(s) AND an intersection. This is
because the applicability of the stop sign at an intersection might
depend on your direction of approach.

Hence the need to either 1) tag both the way and intersection
explicitly (with a relation) or 2) tag the way explictly and
intersection implicity (using at_*_node).
