Hi,

Being the one doing the "Please don't": I indeed have not read the wiki lemmas you're referring to. I will definitely read up on that and refrain from further lecturing before I've done that. Thanks for the pointer. These kind of contributions keep us (me) awake and are very useful.

The original question referenced the OSM wiki about "complex intersections" at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals#Complex_intersections

My much preferred tagging, not for any specific data consumer like OsmAnd, is to "tag all incoming ways" as illustrated at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals#Tag_all_incoming_ways

The fact that it might make it easier for a router like OsmAnd is nice but the real reason is that in reality you don't have to stop two or three traffic lights in the middle of an intersection and I think the "tag all incoming ways" better models reality.

Curtis' tagging edits meet the intent of OSM, is documented in the wiki and is widely used. So I wonder if you actually read the link given before writing "Please don't".

    I have been moving traffic lights out out of these intersections,
    largely for the reason brought up here:

    Please don't, Curtis.  Tagging is:
    1 - Describe what you physically see ("Hey, I see a sign" )
    2 - Describe what it does ("Hmm, that makes it one way traffic" )

    Moving traffic lights to come to the rescue of some bad router
    violates both rules.

    Thanks,
