A system for mapping traffic lights and for determining traffic light relevancy for use in autonomous vehicle navigation. The system may include at least one processor programmed to: receive at least one location identifier associated with a traffic light; receive a state identifier associated with the traffic light; receive navigational information indicative of one or more aspects of motion of the first vehicle along the road segment, and determine, based on the navigational information, a lane of travel traversed by the first vehicle along the road segment. The processor may also determine whether the traffic light is relevant to the lane of travel traversed by the first vehicle; update an autonomous vehicle road navigation model relative to the road segment; and distribute the updated autonomous vehicle road navigation model to a plurality of autonomous vehicles.
