Google Maps has been showing traffic lights (and stop signs) on the route ahead for the last couple months – so I wonder if they will be shifting soon to a similar way of indicating upcoming turns.

This seems like the kind of thing that's great if the map data is extremely accurate, but far worse than the older style if there's any chance of mis-counting lights. Even hitting a glitch once (e.g. it says 2 lights when it's really 3) could hurt trust in the app's navigation a lot.
