This was also my argument in the past. But you still have cases where it's not 100% reliable e.g. when the node is between two intersections. > Now your node is part of two ways - and what now? The attribute is about traffic signals, you can safely ignore the pedestrian way (until traffic signals will be common for pedestrians...) If the tag is placed on a real intersection node, we can consider this as a mapping mistake and fallback to the old fashion of mapping traffic lights. But again, I'm not here to defend this tag but to propose a replacement by a relation. > Another example: the way ends at your node on both sides - and both ways > go to different directions - and now? First, this can controlled by a QA tool and fixed. Second, read my OP. My proposal is to replace this direction on node by a relation...
