[[JOSMImage(joinnodeway,48,link=,middle,margin-right=20)]] ''Keyboard shortcut:'' **`J`**

**Join a selected node into the nearest way segment by modifying the geometry of the way**

The selected node keeps its position and an obtuse angle is created in the modified way.

**Note**: ''This action only works if the monitor distance between the node and the way is tiny. If it does not work, simply zoom further out.''
