Hm, I’m not sure. It could separete clearly the individual traffic signals from the traffic signal system/the covered area. The downside would be that we introduce a new tag, and if you are a contributer and you want just add such a name to OSM, you have to deal with two different taggings: – highway=traffic_signals + name=* for simple cases (as currently) – junction=traffic_signal + name=* for the complex cases. Not sure, but it seems to be more complicate?
