It should be pretty trivial to have the area share nodes with the highway ways where the signals would normally be mapped. Like drawing a square around a tic-tac-toe board, but the shared nodes are only on one side at a time.
Also, I think It could also share nodes with the walkways and other pedestrian oriented ways, as the signal would be part of their routing as well.
