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".
