Credit to u/dbond09 who had the original idea 6 years ago. I added the special sequence for some traffic lights at pedestrian crossings in the UK (watch this special sequence here).
It obviously works fine, but I’m not a huge fan of yellow meaning both that red is changing to green and green is changing to red. Ideally, each color has a single meaning.

We in Russia also have red + amber. Also I was quite shoked to find out blinking green is not an universal thing. It adds a nice little buffer between “proceed as normal” and “stop if able”

How do you know whether to slow down or speed up when its yellow?

It’s red and amber in the UK. The only time I’ve seen amber on its own after red is at some pedestrian crossings.

Now include the timer when waiting for green, or the pedestrian timer to know how much green is left.

I think some people may have misunderstood: The UK usually has red+amber for a red to green transition, which is indicated as orange. The flashing yellow hash marks and the tiny traffic light next to it is only for some traffic lights at pedestrian crossings, this is NOT the standard! I really don’t know how people could have possibly misunderstood that since I stated this both on the image and the description… 🤔

In Russia there is red+yellow before the green light (as well as in the Eastern Europe).
I’m wondering does any country besides Russia have numeric countdown in seconds during the green phase?

In Serbia some traffic lights have blinking green lights and some don’t. It’s a bit confusing. You expect it to blink but it doesn’t and you go through on amber.😂

The UK is green –> amber –> red — amber + red –> green outside of pedestrian crossings.
