Also the decision to stop because there's a queue. This doesn't make it pointless to signal that there is a traffic light ahead, or that queues may be possible (there's even a road sign for that). > And you cannot rely on OSM for your driving decisions. > Imagine that your navigator warns you 4 times to give way and the > information is missing in OSM for the fifth... > Still better than having none.
