I've want to move a traffic light by dragging( is in the wrong position). But in Potlatch and ID, it drags the road away with. How exactly can I move the tag alone? |

It seems as if the node of traffic light in question is actually part of the road. The simple way to fix your problem is to create a new node and add the tags from the original one to the new one (and remove them from the old node). Doing it this way has the disadvantage of losing the history of the old node. JOSM has a dedicated "detach" node function that does it the "proper" way, you can emulate this in iD by:
I wouldn't :-) 4
Note you should check if what you want to do is actually compatible with http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=traffic_signals which in general assumes that the signal is mapped on the actual way.

In OSM we usually prefer to map the signal's effect (which is to stop traffic, and implies placing it on a way's node) rather than the physical object (of which there can be many for a single stop location). The reason for this (appart from avoiding too micro a mapping) is that it would be very hard for routing engines to use the traffic signal information if it wasn't placed on the way being routed. I wouldn't move the traffic signal off the way unless you understand very well what you're doing.

I have to strongly agree with vincent-de-phily on this: Don't remove the tag from the highway! One of the main "rendering" (i.e. users) of OSM data are routing engines which use this information to determine the best route. By adding highway=stop, highway=give_way and highway=traffic_signal tags to appropriate nodes on highways routing engines can make a better decisions on a good route. See also: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals#Complex_intersections If you must, add a separate node in the actual physical location for a map image renderer.
