Hm, I’m not sure. It could separete clearly the individual traffic signals
from the traffic signal system/the covered area. The downside would be that
we introduce a new tag, and if you are a contributer and you want just add
such a name to OSM, you have to deal with two different taggings:
– highway=traffic_signals + name=* for simple cases (as currently)
– junction=traffic_signal + name=* for the complex cases.
Not sure, but it seems to be more complicate?
