How to get intersections

How to get intersections - Amazon Location Service

Geocode API can retrieve nearby intersections to the specified location.

Potential use case

Retrieve all nearby intersections. This can be used by emergency services and delivery couriers. Emergency response vehicles often need to identify nearby intersections for optimal positioning when responding to calls. This allows them to maintain clear access routes and faster response times while ensuring visibility from multiple approaches. Similarly, delivery couriers can utilize intersection data to find more efficient parking spots, especially in dense urban areas where door-to-door parking may be limited or restricted.
