highway=traffic_signals means "this intersection is governed by traffic

If you want a tag for "there is a physical signal here", use a
different one. Using highway=traffic_signals for this will lose
important information about what intersections have signals (for
example, a router can no longer say "turn left at the second signal").
Actually this is a bad example, since there are many reasons for having more
than one traffic_signals node at an intersection. But when turning onto a trunk
from a residential, for example, a router will want to put you out at a traffic
signal, and this is much easier when the intersection node is clearly labeled.
are we mapping reality or "for the router" ?
Both. Reality is that the intersection is controlled by traffic signals.
