Nice summary. Thanks Did you have a look at the three existing proposals about complex junctions ? All are linked under: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Junction Note, that in Germany micromapping is mapping highway=traffic_sign + crossing=traffic_sign/* on a node at the crossing and not at the intersection node. I even have found highway=traffic_signal at the road marking and another highway=crossing for the pedestrian crossing both in advance of the intersection node. Personally, I did start to add direction=* to traffic_signals for only one direction.
