That's exactly what I say. Stick the node where the real life stop
sign is - nothing arbitrary here - then let software calculate the
distances and find the nearest intersection. If and only if the
nearest intersection is not easy to find (e.g. because the distance
from the two intersections is the same or nearly the same), then add
the relation.
