[Tagging] highway=crossing/crossing=traffic_signals

Thanks

"This allows them to be rendered as a orientated feature, rather than 
just as a node."

I know little of rendering rules, but the French render appears to 
rotate node icon to suit

To me, it seems worse for mapnik to miss the rendering of 75% of traffic 
lights than not displaying any of them. If you can see some the 
assumption is that that's all of them.
