Thanks, all!

Further discussion on the talk page came up with:

*The example from Australia is a different kind of flashing beacon, which
can be mounted on any kind of warning sign, not just advance warning signs
about intersections. I'd probably tag the traffic_sign
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_sign>=AU:W3-3 node itself
with flashing_lights
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:flashing_lights>=yes
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:flashing_lights%3Dyes&action=edit&redlink=1>.
I don't think it's necessary to associate the sign with "traffic signals"
at all. *

AU:W3-3
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Australia#/media/File:Australia_road_sign_W3-3.svg
W3-V101
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Australia#/media/File:Victoria_W3-V101.svg

So, ditch traffic-signals completely & work on the sign itself, possibly
combined with hazard (
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:hazard#Traffic_hazards)

traffic_sign <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_sign>=AU:W3-3
or W3-V101 + hazard=traffic_signals + flashing_light=yes

Now, map that as a node on the line of the road itself, or beside it?

Thanks

Graeme
