>From a routing perspective, its more useful to have the information on the road intersection. While it might render nicer if you put objects geographically where they are (separated from the road), from a routing perspective thats not much use unless you use a relation to relate the traffic lights to the roadway the traffic lights are on. Also, traffic signals arent only used for road intersections, traffic lights are also sometimes used to control pedestrian crossings between a footway/cycleway and a highway, which I feel is useful to tag.
