A lot of places in east asia have red light timers. If theres nobody coming, people will start when theres like 3 seconds left.

    That feels like an argument for why red light timers for cars might be a bad idea.

    Like, you can understand the intent - by giving extra information, drivers know how long they have to wait and so won't get as annoyed - but that same extra information encourages drivers to take risks, and start moving even earlier than they would with just a simple red/amber/green
