Nice summary. Thanks

Did you have a look at the three existing proposals about complex
junctions ?
All are linked under:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Junction

Note, that in Germany micromapping is mapping highway=traffic_sign +
crossing=traffic_sign/* on a node at the crossing and not at the
intersection node. I even have found highway=traffic_signal at the road
marking and another highway=crossing for the pedestrian crossing both in
advance of the intersection node.

Personally, I did start to add direction=* to traffic_signals for only
one direction.
