I would like to, but I couldn't convince the (german) community to have 
features like "green light optimal speed adivsory" (glosa) and "red light 
duration advisory" (rlda). May be there are good reasons, so I don't complain.

link how glosa works:

this features require to have a clean junction and traffic signals model and 
additional tags.
one junction = one relation, this is already proposed since many years and 
nothing happens.
driving directions as relations from->via->to


I don't see other options than:
fork osm
or
implement my and other peoples proposals.

I think osm is fixated to have a good-looking maps but is overloaded for 
routing and my application, e.g. some bigger junctions have a lot of nodes and 
ways. I planned to simplify roads and junctions.

What would you do?
