stop


Description

A road with stop signs

Group

Highway

There are two non-conflicting proposals for Key:stop. One is to tag the way so that one or both ends of it have a stop sign. Another is to tag a node with the cardinal direction of the roads which have stop signs. The first method is Proposed features/Key:stop. The second method is [in use now]

Values

yes
The stop sign is placed on the last node of the way.
both
The stop sign is placed on both the first and the last node of the way; only for double direction ways.
-1
The stop sign is placed on the first node of the way (if a way is oneway=yes, please use stop=yes instead).
(a listing of cardinal directions separated by semicolons)
When a node is tagged with stop=N, the road which is north of the node has a stop sign. If stop=E, to the east; if stop=W, to the west; if stop=S, to the south; if stop=NE, to the northeast, etc. If stop=E;W then both roads to the east and west. If necessary to distinguish between roads which approach at a sharp angle, go on to the sixteen point directions: ENE is East of North East.

Usage - general notes

A highway=* tag on a way implies the meanings listed here for stop=yes;both;-1. A highway=stop on a node implies the meanings listed here for stop=(cardinal directions).

Tagging scheme

Deprecates

highway=stop is not necessary for the semantics of stop=*, but if present and the latter not, then the intersection has stop signs in all directions.
