Traffic light are added only by Google @JonasKL

This feature started to appear in United States on August 2020, and is now slowly extended in other countries.

My feeling is that the traffic lights are automatically detected by the AI using Street View images, then the symbol is added in Maps

Here the article from 9to5google

That’s an interesting topic @JonasKL . Users cannot add traffic lights however, Google started rolling out traffic lights on Maps in some US cities last year (I definitely know in L.A.) and this functionality is now also gradually being rolled out in Europe, I believe already in Spain. While traffic light icons are shown on Maps, currently, they do not show the current status of the light :disappointed:

Yup, @JonasKL

I’m happy to see you back in Connect after a quite long time. I’m fine, with new projects and ideas, as you may see on my signature. What about you?
