Personally, if someone said, "look at that traffic light", I'd assume it was a light that tells cars when to stop and go and I'd imagine red, amber, and green lights. I would not think of warning signals as a traffic light, so I'd need to visit the wiki and try to guess about what tag to use, if any. Let's say we did make another tag: crossing=warning_lights. We'd actually have made the overall problem worse by adding a tag that doesn't describe pedestrian signals or markings on the ground, forcing mappers to choose between the types of information they can map. After these discussions, my preference is for a unique tag for street traffic signals at crossings: crossing:street_signal=yes/no/traffic_lights/warning/*, with wording up for debate.
