Is there a tag that we can use for naming an intersection(Crossroad)? Usually in Iran every intersection has a name which is not necessarily related to the streets that create that intersection. I have seen in some countries they add a node in center of intersection and tag it with place=locality and give it a name tag too, is it the correct way? Thanks |

An intersection node can have junction=yes plus name=* 6
Named junctions show-up in the main style (Carto-CSS) http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/27258564

What about the second question? Is it wrong to add a place=locality tag to the central node of intersection? I know what is the use of locality tag (for known unpopulated areas) but since I have seen an experienced mapper has used it in our city, I just want to be clear about it.
If the locality took it's title from the same named road junction and was locally referred by this name, I would still put the place=locality on a separate node displaced a 100m or so from the intersection in a spot where it doesn't obscure other important map info. There are probably a few famous named junctions where the locality tag on the junction can be considered appropriate too.
@nevw: displacing seems to be "Tagging for the renderer". Please do not do it. Displacing labels or symbols is the renderer's job (if wished for a specific map).
