Comment:
I do not recommend using an '&' character as the intersection indicator
from the point of view that the Tiger data does have street names the
contain an '&' character like "B & O", "Tom & Ann" or something like that,
and others. I already did this analysis when looking at PAGC geocoder and
Tiger data. You will also find the word "and" in some street names so that
is not good as a separator either. In PAGC I arbitrarily pick the '@'
character as it is not used in the Tiger data and it reads as "street a
(at) street b" which seems as good as any definition for an intersection.
