Thanks for the quick reply @CRCulver.

It makes sense to me to remove the tags from the node of the intersecting ways. We're good there.

It's still not clear to me why having stop=all on the individual stop sign nodes would be expected since they are already tagged with direction=forward/backward.

My perspective (which could be wrong) is that it would be incorrect to tag them with stop=all based on the direction tags.

If you could provide a link to information that explains the approach you suggested I would appreciate it.

I'm wondering if there is an implied "it's better to keep the stop sign at the node where the ways intersect" in your feedback??? My goal with this change was to add more detail to the map as I've been mapping sidewalks and crossings. My understanding was that it was preferred to have the stop sign as a node where vehicles/cycles would need to stop since they don't actually stop in the middle of the intersection but before the crossings.

Thanks again!
