Google also switched the user interface a little bit with the bottom tab and no hamburger menu. Google keeps adding new features in Google Maps since then without actually talking about that feature. A new feature has been spotted recently on the Google Maps app just like that.

This new feature shows the traffic lights in certain areas for some users. The feature first spotted by Droid Life. The screenshots show traffic lights on the intersection but not any functionality to the users. This feature may have been added to give the users heads-up for the traffic lights when they are using navigation.
