That's right, even in the best case scenario (mapping them at their actual locations and expressing their impact on roads using relations), we'd still end up with approximated delays for routing which may be completely unrelated to the resulting, emerging traffic patterns. So mapping the lights at

"underground" is an attribute in local government databases of roads around here: for earthquake purposes the major arterial routes have priority for utility undergrounding. Thus it it even possible to robottag huge swathes, subject to the usual concerns about robotagging.

How about a lightweight version of this, for the rather common situation where the power infrastructure follows the roads, and the mapping won't be detailed due to lack of micro-mapping energy? Think miles and miles of rural highway... are you planning to trace each road? Can't you map a lot more

I've been inclined to combining traffic lights (highway=traffic_lights) and pedestrian crossings (crossing=traffic_lights), since they usually form a single "stopping" structure. The traffic light node then represents the "stop position" of the cars, even if the light itself is placed in the middle
