Looks like this has already been discussed .. in 2008 to 2011.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Set_of_Traffic_Signals
No outcome for that ..
Past discussion looks to have pointed to a relation ... the relation contains each node of traffic_light and can have a name= tag.

I use 'set' because that is how they are called here in Australasia .. and it looks to be used in the UK too ...

If group is not a good word, then "set" is a good alternative.

Hi,

This could be confused with the coordination of traffic signals along a length of road or even a district wide coordination of traffic light signals.
I think it needs some words that restrict it to a single intersection?

And possibly some thought to where a length of road (many intersections) or a district wide coordination of traffic signals occurs? If the name 'traffic signals group' is taken what name would you give this? May be a different name for this 'group'? Such as ? traffic signals set?

Hello.

This is a request for comments for the proposal
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/traffic_signals_group

The original author is Sanderd17. With the consent of him, I did some
supplementing. Thanks to Sanerd17!

Unlike the proposal “Proposed features/Traffic Signals” of Lukas
Schaus, this is _not_ about traffic light circuits, but just about
grouping together all nodes with highway=traffic_signals that belong
to a traffic signal system at one place. This could be useful in
Japan, where traffic signal systems have namen. (Thanks to nyampire
and javbw for suggestions and comments.) This could be useful for
routing/turn-to-turn navigation engines to calculate better the time
penalty for the traffic signal system.

Best regards
