Remi,

Ok. Cool. I've set the below query running. On Monday I will also
attempt to get the original road lines file too. Let's see if we have
a result on Monday.
----------------------------------
CREATE TABLE lines_for_each_road AS
WITH all_lines AS (
SELECT *
FROM all_lines
),
cutted_lines AS ( --we cut the line to keep only part of lines inside
road_buffer
SELECT ST_Intersection(all_lines.the_geom,ukmajrdbuffer.geom) as
lines_cutted, direction
FROM ukmajrdbuffer, all_lines
WHERE ST_Intersects(ukmajrdbuffer.geom, all_lines.the_geom)=TRUE
),
cutted_lines_SN AS ( --this is the cutted lines which going from South to North
SELECT *
FROM cutted_lines
WHERE direction = 'SN'
),
cutted_lines_EW AS ( --this is the cutted lines going from East toWest
SELECT *
FROM cutted_lines
WHERE direction = 'EW'
),
points AS ( -- we take the intersection of EW  lines with SN lines ,
that is the points on the grid.
SELECT ST_Intersection(clSN.lines_cutted, clEW.lines_cutted) AS point
FROM cutted_lines_SN as clSN, cutted_lines_EW AS clEW
WHERE ST_Intersects(clSN.lines_cutted, clEW.lines_cutted)=TRUE --no
point ot compute an intersection if lines don't intersect
)
SELECT row_number() over() AS id  , point
FROM points ;
------------------------------------------
Thanks

James
