Get all motorway_junciton including the roadname

Question

Hello,

I would like to get all motorway junctions with their roadnames. At the moment, I'm using this:

[timeout:3600][maxsize:1073741824][bbox:{{bbox}}];
way[highway~"^(motorway)$"];
node(w)[highway=motorway_junction];
(._;>;);
out meta;

Which works, but it gives me the following output:

{
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {
    "@id": "node/9200769",
    "highway": "motorway_junction",
    "name": "Kreuz Rostock",
    "ref": "9",
    "@timestamp": "2015-04-09T06:46:01Z",
    "@version": "10",
    "@changeset": "30082198",
    "@user": "da-sch",
    "@uid": "200139"
  },
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Point",
    "coordinates": [
      12.1994746,
      54.0327681
    ]
  },
  "id": "node/9200769"

I can't find any information, which says, on which road this junciton is. I do not mean the destination road. In my example it would be the road(highway) "A20". For testing i'm using overpass turbo.

Could somebody please help me?

Answer 1

The node(w) here means you are only fetching motorway_junction nodes that are part of a highway=motorway (or motorway_link; this is subtlety different than all motorway_junction nodes).

way[highway~"^(motorway)$"];
node(w)[highway=motorway_junction];

I think there is no way to get Overpass to amend the nodes with information from the parent ways, but you can at least return the ways as part of your Overpass query and then use the node ids to find information about parent ways:

[timeout:3600][maxsize:1073741824][bbox:{{bbox}}];
(
way[highway~"^(motorway)$"];
node(w)[highway=motorway_junction];
);
out meta;

Overpass Turbo might warn that this query is broken because it doesn't return the full geometries of the ways, but if I understand correctly you don't care about the way geometry, so just ignore the warning.
