Crossroads (synonyms: intersections; example toponyms: The Old Crossroads) are locations where two or more roads intersect. They may be locations where a town, tavern, inn, or gas station has been established. There may be sign posts, hanging cages of criminals to deter highway robbery, or shrines. Remote crossroads may be sites where deals with the devil can be made. Crossroads in narratives are often physical manifestations of a choice a protagonist must make.

Can you trust the signposts? They may have been altered to set up a roadside ambush or to keep a location hidden.
