That's right, even in the best case scenario (mapping them at their actual locations and expressing their impact on roads using relations), we'd still end up with approximated delays for routing which may be completely unrelated to the resulting, emerging traffic patterns. So mapping the lights at

I've been inclined to combining traffic lights (highway=traffic_lights) and pedestrian crossings (crossing=traffic_lights), since they usually form a single "stopping" structure. The traffic light node then represents the "stop position" of the cars, even if the light itself is placed in the middle

It's more reliable to guess the direction by nearest-distance-to-next-intersection than to rely on any mappers to keep that up to date, especially with iD making it extremly easy (which is good) to change a ways direction. nodes should NOT depend on the direction of any way they belong to. Second

Seems like this would be better done as a relation. Also, still seems this has yet to be resolved for anything other than a 4-way stop, and to a lesser extent (due to the nature of being usually placed on ramps, or in neighborhoods as an all-way control) give_way (though still unresolved for two-w
