Road Junction
A Road Junction feature is a collection of Road Node features that share the same road junction name or number. The collection of Road Nodes will include all Road Nodes that constitute part of a 'slip road' or other link between two or more crossing Road features. A Road Node could be referenced by multiple Road Junction features.
Motorway junctions will be populated completely; other junctions are being supplied as data is improved for future releases.
