"traffic lights" is one single concept in English, not just a combination of two words. Even in dictionaries it is usually shown in a separate node.

Or at least a specific phrase that means 'traffic light', just as English uses not a single word, but a phrase. 

 
Maybe that's the kind of construct Lojban needs --a way to use two (or more) words together that have a specific (gestalt?) meaning rather then a metaphorical one. Yet I don't see how the grammar would allow it.
