I suppose the main downside is that it requires a relation. I've not
mapped give-way relationships myself, but it would be good to map them,
and the node method seems simpler and would involve less database bloat
than adding a relation at, basically, every junction. I would think the
node method would be sufficient for most junctions, while the relation
method could be available for any more complex cases. As far as I can
see, with the node method, the important thing to remember is that the
give-way node needs to be closer to the intersection node to which it
applies than to any other intersection node on the way, which doesn't
seem too difficult to achieve. It should perhaps be made clear in the
wiki that there is not necessarily an actual Give Way sign: it can be
used to represent a give-way line as well.

Hi everyone!
I noticed that the proposal for a give_way type relationship [1] has
been in draft for nine solid years. It seems a great solution to the
current limitations of highway=give_way and highway=stop, also because
it reuses a tagging scheme that is widely accepted both by mappers and
by consumers for turn restrictions.
I suggest that discussion on this proposal be revived. It should
undergo the regular voting process and finally become an approved
relation type.
It may also be that it became a de facto standard in the meanwhile.
Does somebody know of a router that uses this relation, possibly to
provide navigation indications?
