I agree you. I have described a way to map it without relations using
lane tagging which should exist if you want to have useful traffic
simulations.

I mentioned this proposal at German OSM forum.
http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=29712

Main comments there:
A large number of traffic lights/crossings have no programm. The show
green to the branch streets if a waits there. Otherwise they show red to
the branch streets and green to the main street. There are also traffic
lights in cities which
- show green for a couple of minutes if fire brigades approach to
  "clean the way".
- can have extra-extra programms if a special event changes traffic flow
- have multiple programms (one on the morning rush hour, one for the
  low-traffic periode between 9 and 12 a.m., one afternoon programm,
  one evening rush hour programm, one late-evening programm and a
  Sunday programm)

Best regards

Michael
