In this paper we aim at proving well-posedness of solutions obtained as vanishing viscosity limits for the Cauchy problem on a traffic junction where $m$ incoming and $n$ outgoing roads meet. The traffic on each road is governed by a scalar conservation law $\rho_{h,t} + f_h (\rho_h)_x =0, for $h =1,..., m+n$. Our proof relies upon the complete description of the set of road-wise constant solutions and its properties, which is of some interest on its own. Then we introduce a family of Kruzhkov-type adapted entropies at the junction and state a definition of admissible solution in the same spirit as in [1, 2, 4, 15, 17].
