Ah, but what if the yellow light is broken? Clearly seeing green is the only way to be sure that running somebody over won't be your fault.If it's in a 'fault' state because of a broken red light then all yellow lights will blink, chances of all yellows being broken is very slim. Here in the UK, a flashing Amber means "Proceed if clear". Used on pedestrian crossings, if no one's crossing, you can proceed on amber. If the lights fail, traffic flows a LOT more smoothly, especially at larger junctions. If the lights get stuck on red, you can still get a ticket for going through the red light. No lights = Proceed with caution.
