(I recall seeing a way to tag a signal as always green, but a) IIRC it
didn't distinguish always green *only* for certain directions, and
anyway b) I can't find it again, even using the wiki search or Google.)
traffic_signals=continuous_green for the approach that has a continuous
green. The left turn traffic should have a standard traffic signal node.
I can't see how that can work. The intersection has a "single" light
(single cluster of signals, anyway; one signal per lane as is often the
case), and is a fairly typical three-lane highway (three lanes
westbound, that is). The lanes are not separated in any way aside from
lane markings. Unless I am *completely* misunderstanding you (always
possible), the only way what you're proposing would work is if the left
turn lane was modeled as a separate way from where the turn lane starts,
which is a) a pain to model, and b) just not done AFAICT (and very
likely not recommended either!).

Moreover, I'm reasonably confident I've seen *actual* single signals
that were always green for one direction (e.g. a four-lamp signal with
red/yellow/green 'up' arrows and an always-on green right arrow).
Maybe we need something like traffic_signals:through=continuous_green? I
suppose we could also do traffic_signals:lanes, but that seems fraught
with parsing pitfalls, and wouldn't work anyway for e.g. a signal on a
single lane that always has a green right arrow but a regular cycle for
other traffic.
