Но стоп линии только там, где есть светофоры, а в остальных местах что?
highway=stop_line
Cтоп линии бывают и там, где нет светофоров. Например у знака STOP, CUSTOM и т.п.
И светофоры бывают без стоп-линий, там где не надо останавливаться на красный свет - у дублирующих светофоров на выезде с перекрестка.
Excuse me, are you speaking about highway=stop_line on nodes or on lines? If second:
Do you think it will not cause a problem when a user want get all routable highway=* in any area? For example, through the Overpass. In this fall ways with highway=stop_line tag come also in query, and user must filter them.
Зачем опять в highway пихать? Есть же road_marking, его и использовать, если так уж хочется разметку наносить.
It is a very important remark, despite many different keys for highway nodes (crossing, traffic_lights, etc.), linear highways should be considered as a routing lines. Linear stop lines is unambiguous part of the road marking.
Exactly.
For case 1. use: highway=stop_line + stop_line=traffic_signals
For case 2. only: highway=stop_line
Stop Line should is a tagging of a node.
My vote for
road_marking=stop_line
stop_line=*
We already have enough highway=something_that_is_not_a_highway features.
And while you mark points with highway=stop_line it’s a small problem, but if it’s combined with polygonal highways and you mark a line with these tags, it will interfere with highways.

В свое время порисовал в округе area:*, да, похоже, GaM все поудалял 
Sounds good for me. Please feel free to put this suggestion in the proposal page, including your sketch. Is it ok for you?
Best regards,
Marek
Но ведь это повод для обращения в DWG.
GaM давал поводы для обращение в DWG уже столько раз… только все почему-то стесняются писать туда.
Marek yep.

I found some bugs, please compare the latest english version.
See: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:MarekStreetsasfacesWithPointsLegend.jpg
and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:StreetsasfacesconnectionModified.jpg
Also some changes in the description.
French mappers have also visualization of streets as area:
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/de/map/areahighway-karte_21256#19/48.20084/11.58573
I can’t find where they have got polygons, so I made a small sketch in overpass-turbo
In my opinion, we shouldn’t use area:highway=yes or crossing, it is equivalent to mark street areas just as surface=paved. When only area:highway=yes was used, you can not distinguish pedestrian and motorist areas or drop minor streets (e.g. residential, service) in render. So I speaking for the area:highway=[highway tag on linear road] only.
Sounds good for me. Write it in the discussion subpage.
Mappers from Holland render this tag as well:

Your rendering looks in my opinion better.
