Do any of the ID3 models detect traffic lights? I read somewhere that the eGolf did, possibly.

As in stopping for red ones?

Maybe Travel Assist does, although I thought it was more about other vehicles in front of you rather than restrictions such as a red light or stop sign…

Not necessarily stopping but just seeing them as a warning to the driver, as you get with "s" bends or junctions.
One of the reasons I like using Apple maps on my phone, is that it shows traffic lights when used as a sat nav in the car.

I don’t think I’ve seen mine doing that.

I will have to recheck this but I’m fairly sure the last time I used Apple maps, it showed traffic lights on my route. The car doesn’t react to them though, as far as I am aware.

I can only recall seeing the traffic light icon on Apple Maps when there’s a traffic light camera on the junction. Totally happy to be proved wrong though, and I haven’t checked very recently!

That’s Apple Maps, totally separate to what the car tells you (which is what you were asking about)
