Which Traffic Signal Would You Prefer?

anytime I approach an intersection with a green light, I start a mental countdown to "the point of no return"
(this point is 30-40-50 feet before the intersection, depending on the road and speed im traveling)
if the light hits yellow before my countdown hits zero, I stop because I know I have plenty of room to do so, and not enough time to make it across
if I hit zero, and pass the point of no return, I already know that if the light were to change, im not gonna stop anyway


but to answer your question, what I would really like is the traffic light sequence you see in mountainous parts of Europe when it goes "green-yellow-red-yellow-green"

the added yellow before green gives you time to shift into first and release the park brake (since 90% of the cars there are stickshift)
