**Is this a…** :
Standard bug
**Steps to reproduce this issue** :
1. Connect walking trail/footpath near to end of a segment (before where it would visually snap the traffic light)
2. Traffic light cannot be snapped to segment
There is a workaround, which is adding the traffic lights to the node instead and deleting the extra hazard it adds.

Hi @tbrks,
Thank you for your report.
I have been able to reproduce this issue to an extent, whereby I can add a TL to the segment, however it sometimes gets “trapped” between the nodes.
Could you please confirm if this is what you are unable to do on your end:
?
Take care and regards,
Olesya

Yeah it does seem to be possible to snap it from the left side when I come at it from the same angle as you did in your screenshot. It just felt a bit unnatural but I suppose it’s not as bad as I originally thought. I’ll leave it to you to decide if it’s a big enough problem to continue following up on. Thanks for checking 🙂

Thank you for your response @tbrks. It is a bit tricky indeed. I’ve asked the team to check this on their end as well and will let you know once I hear back.
