We have a different situation in Japan (normally/mostly the name belongs to the traffic signal system) and a different situation in Korea (the name belongs to the junction). Currently in OSM we use yet highway=traffic_signals for traffic signal names in Japan. And we use yet junction=yes for junction names in Korea. This is yet an established tagging. But it is used currently only on nodes (not an areas) and works well only for simple situations.
The difference between traffic signal names and crossroad names is meaningfull. The rendering is not the same. In openstreetmap-carto we have currently rendered the name together with an icon for nodes with highway=traffic_signals. But we have just the name without any icon for nodes with junction=yes. The proposal/RFC simply extends the existing and yet established tagging conventions for nodes to be now used also on areas. It extends both (junction=yes and highway=traffic_signals) independently, but guards the difference between both.
