Find 2 closest road intersections
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
Feature/Enhancement Proposal
Adding the possibility to find the two closest road intersections and return the names of the other streets and their distances could be useful when ORS is set up for emergency services. It helps in finding the closest junctions on the highway or pinpointing the place of an emergency on a random street without using an address (sometimes houses are not marked with numbers).

Possible Implementation
Modify isochrone approach.

@PawelKra Thanks for bringing up this idea.
We recently added the snapping endpoint, that snaps one more multiple points to the closest part of the network. We could think about adding this as an additional feature to be returned per request to this endpoint, instead of the isochrones.
What do you think about this?
