i will never understand why us traffic lights go immediately from red to green. you have a whole-ass third light to use for signaling that the light is about to change, so people don't have to floor it due to an unexpected change.

Drivers in the US would start treating that middle light as go and we'd be right back to square one

You don't need to do a lot of enforcement to change that behaviour. And you can do the enforcement with red light cameras

In many localities voters have used initiative powers to ban red light cameras and in some jurisdictions red-light camera fines are deemed constitutional violations because the US Constitution requires those accused of crimes to be able to "confront their accuser" in court which is not possible if the accuser is a machine.
