Google Maps also marks the traffic signals at the entrance to the Trenton tunnel in NJ as a signalized location also.

I believe Google Maps may have taken public GIS data from state/local authorities, which may be outdated or have errors, listing >any< kind of signal and interpreted the data as all traffic lights. Part of what makes me think this is that NCDOT's GIS data for traffic lights also includes beacons/flashers, and every location NCDOT has with a beacon on their map has been listed by Google Maps as a traffic light. I believed they have fixed this error in some places, but there are plenty that still remain.

I've also seen them marked on the map at railroad crossing gates.
