English term or phrase: 2 way crossing, 3 way crossing ...
These are localization terms of a sat nav system. The term pops up when a crossing is approached:

2 way crossing
3 way crossing ... so on to
6 way crossing

I am not sure if there is a differentiation like this in German or if one just says "Kreuzung" or "Knoten".

I would appreciate any help on this!

Thanks a lot in advance!
