Hi, When the crossing is in a curve, I do it the way you describe, placing a node at intersection. But when two straight ways (whatever the kind of way) intersect, I prefer tracing the first line without intersection; then when I trace the second one I reach the first line, and it helps at putting that point more precisely. You may find it useful when many lines are parallel. Example: when tracing parking aisles, for the whole not to appear too messy at the end, you'd rather first trace ways in one direction, then in the other, thus creating intersections. I also use this technique when I have to align some POI on parallel ways, using a temporary way (virtual line that I then delete). Example: placing lift gates on parallel ways for entering or exiting a parking, or a motorway...
