What would you expect them to do? Go straight from red to green?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago

That's what normally happens

[–] geophysicist@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. That's what happens in most countries

So they just go straight to green without any warning?

More or less. If you're paying attention to what's going on around you you'll notice other traffic stop before your light turns green. There's also typically a second or two where all lights are red before one turns green to make sure the intersection is clear.

Why would you need a warning? It's not a race. In fact, that's probably part of the reasoning of not having a yellow before changing to green

So you can get in gear, do observations and be ready to move when the light turns green.

That's what traffic lights do here in Spain. I don't actually know if Red-yellow-green has any advantage

That's the part where you spin your tires to burn
