Tag:hazard=dangerous_junction

A dangerous junction is an intersection that has a high rate of traffic collisions.

How to map

Tagging can be applied to the intersection node or the location of the signage:

• Place a node at the location of the dangerous junction traffic sign, tagged traffic_sign=hazard (or code) + hazard=dangerous_junction.
• Tag a node along a highway=* way at the location of the sign
• Tag the at the intersection of the two or more highway=* ways that make up the dangerous intersection.

Possible tagging mistakes

European-style signage
This sign simply means we have priority at the next junction. It does not mean the junction is dangerous. Use highway=priority instead.
