I agree with this approach.

I see it as: Is this entity fundamentally a traffic signal, or is it
fundamentally emergency-related equipment? I say it's the former.

Alternatively: is it better if a renderer shows all traffic_signals
the same (failing to distinguish emergency ones), or all emergency
things the same (failing to distinguish traffic signals from, say,
fire extinguishers). Again, I say the former.
