I agree that they aren’t traffic signals in the sense of the OpenStreetMap tag, that’s why they shouldn’t get the highway=traffic_signals tag, regardless of additional tags.

If I understand this correctly, these could be summarized under a tag for some kind of additional warning to direct the attention of the driver to dangerous spots (traffic lights, pedestrian crossing, cycleway crossing, sharp turn, etc.)? Maybe an additional property for the hazard tag (or the traffic sign tag) would work?

eg warning_light=yes or highway=warning_light etc.?
