De tag highway=stop dient om een punt op de weg aan te ge ven waar een voertuig moet stoppen, zoals aangegeven door een verkeersbord, een stopmarkering op het wegdek of een andere zichtbare methode. Binnen Nederland geldt hiervoor alleen het STOP-bord. Het voertuig moet volledig tot stilstand komen voordat het verder rijdt, zelfs als er geen ander verkeer in zicht is. Als er verkeer nadert op de kruisende weg, heeft dat voorrang.
Met een onderbord kan worden aangegeven dat verkeer van alle kanten moet stoppen. Daarna gelden de normale voorrangsregels. Dit komt vooral buiten Nederland voor.
Hoe te mappen
Zet een node met de tag highway=stop op de weg op de plaats waar het verkeer geacht wordt te stoppen. Gewoonlijk staat daar een stopstreep.
Met direction=forward kun je aangeven dat de verplichting om voorrang te geven, in de tekenrichting van de way werkt.
Met direction=backward kun je aangeven dat de verplichting om voorrang te geven, tegen de tekenrichting van de way in werkt.
In landen waar STOP-borden op alle aankomende wegen staan, kun je dat met stop=minor aangeven.
NB. highway=stop hoort NIET op de intersectie-node van twee wegen te staan. De intersectie-node wordt soms met highway=priority getagd, om aan te geven dat de kruising een voorrangsregeling heeft.
Tag priority road on the ways
Main road ways that do not stop can be further emphasized using priority_road=*; either (priority_road=designated or priority_road=yes_unposted). The designated value is used in countries that sign some priority roads (main roads) with a yellow diamond with a black border on a white surround.
All-way stop
All-way stops should be shown using highway=stop at the intersection node.
If you want to further confirm that this is an all-way stop, you can add stop=all to the intersection's highway=stop node. However, tagging minor road stop junctions achieves the same distinction, and also warns drivers crossing the conflict point to look out for emerging side road traffic.
If you want to show that the stop line highway=stop nodes are marked with traffic signs, use the traffic_sign=* tag to indicate a physical sign, painted line or an implied stop such as a driveway.
Flashing intersection control beacons are tagged as traffic_signals=blinker or traffic_signals=stop on the intersection node (not at each stop line).
Exceptions
On many rural roads in the United States, 
indicates that a vehicle approaching the intersection must stop if turning left or continuing straight ahead but must not stop if turning right. [1] Typically, the sign is posted at a T-intersection between two two-lane roads where most traffic is expected to turn. [2] There are multiple experimental approaches to tagging these intersections:
type=stoprelation
fromhighway=stopexcept=right_turntagged on a node at the stop line along the roadway. [4]

Rationale
Safety
In the USA, nearly 700,000 police-reported motor vehicle crashes occur annually at stop signs, and about one-third of these crashes involve injuries. If we successfully mapped all stopping points, nav systems or safety apps could warn drivers to stop.
The UK scrapped its "halt" signs in the 1960s, replacing them with "Give Way" (Ireland/US: "Yield", highway=give_way) signs. Stop signs now require special authorization, and are only used at very few, especially hazardous junctions. Adoption of "Give Way" caused no increase in accidents. Since then, in fact, UK accident rates have fallen well below their US counterparts.
In the all-way stop countries, crashes occur at minor road stops because drivers pull out in front of moving traffic, wrongly believing it will stop. Therefore, we need to distinguish all-way stops from minor road stops so safety apps can tell drivers that the other road does not stop.
Give way to the right countries in mainland Europe such as France and Belgium also had problems with side-road drivers emerging into fast traffic. To mitigate that, some minor road were marked as Stop or Give Way, and a new yellow diamond sign priority_road=designated was introduced to label priority roads that don't stop. So, of course, nav systems and safety apps must distinguish priority roads from the minor roads that stop or give way.
Potential goals in mapping stops for smartphone safety apps include alerting drivers on the main road when an approaching side-road driver fails to slow; warning minor road drivers who do not slow as they approach a stop or give way line; or simply making a subtle (Pavlovian) sound as each yield point is approached. Some defensive drivers might welcome such GPS app support. Fully automated vehicles might also benefit from an unambiguous representation of each junction's priority rules.
Usability
Popular mobile navigation applications annotate stop signs along the route on the map, helping users distinguish between major and minor intersections. Some applications measure the upcoming distance to a maneuver as a number of blocks, for consistency with colloquial American English, for example "In three blocks, turn left." These voice instructions ideally account for the difference between controlled and uncontrolled intersections – that is, whether the user encounters a stop sign or traffic signal at the intersection.
Possible mistagging
 |
The attribute highway=stop tagged on way  ( /  ) elements is a possible technical mistagging.If you know objects with this characteristic (see, Overpass query / Sophox query), verify if it could be tagged with another tag. |
