Rendering of intersection names

[Mykolos]

Many thanks to the development team for your hard work. 👍

I was wondering if you have considered including traffic signal names in the rendering of maps? These are often used for navigation in Japan, where minor street names are not usually posted on signs (and are generally unknown to the average person). I think including these signal names at intersections would make route planning with Cycleosm easier in Japan.

FYI:

Hi!

Thanks for the kind words! I wasn't aware of this tagging for intersection names.

Since highway=traffic_signals is already targeted and rendered in the amenities-points' layer, it would be very easy to add rendering of named traffic signals by adding a [feature = 'highway_traffic_signals] condition in the [amenities.mss`](https://github.com/cyclosm/cyclosm-cartocss-style/blob/master/amenities.mss#L1235-L1552) file.

One question on my side: how does this live with the "tag traffic signals on incoming ways" (vs "tag traffic signals at intersection") scheme? Is it something to consider with specialized logic?
