are we mapping reality or "for the router" ?
The question is at what resolution are we mapping?
IMHO we should try to map at the "highest possible" resolution (our db
has a ~1cm limit for coordinate precision, our zoom 18 is approx.
1:1500). Lower resolution data can generally be derived from the
higher resolution data.
I consider also robustness, meaning "map at the highest possible level that
has a reasonable chance of receiving ongoing maintenance".
In the case of traffic lights if the intersection node is marked as
having the proper control (e.g. none, stop light, stop sign, yield,
TOUCAN, PELICAN, PUFFIN, Pegasus, etc), then additional detail is
harmless. A future simple router can route. A future complex router
can process the additional relations and details, when and if they gain
sufficient traction.
Thus I encourage people not to remove the control type from the
intersection node, but rather supplement it. Future rendering software
can suppress the intersection node's rendering if more detailed
information is available.
