Austria does that: 4 seconds of the green light flashing in order to announce the yellow light.

- the__alchemist 2y agoWith this change to the scenario, being required to stop before yellow makes sense. And blowing through red means you extra screwed up! (?) On this note: In the UK, there is a yellow light prior to green; love it.
- gowld 2y agoThe US sometimes has something similar: visibile countdown timers for the pedestrian crossing turning form stop to go, which coincides with the car light turning from red/stop to green/go. This encourages people to run the light by trying to turn exactly as the countdown timer hits 0, trying to race against pedestrians trying to cross crossing pedestrians.
- manwe150 2y agoYou could always do that before in most instances just by watching for the yellow on the cross street too. Though I think the green is often slightly delayed relative to the pedestrian light, precisely to ensure the car cannot win that race legally
- cortesoft 2y agoSo a pre-yellow light? This seems like you just changed what we call a yellow light to the 4 flashing greens, and made the yellow the new red. If yellow means “don’t enter the intersection”, how is that different than a red?
- tbrownaw 2y agoHow long until we can get a proper countdown like some pedestrian signals have?
