Red+yellow for N-S cars, pause for a second or two. Cars are not allowed to set off yet because it's still red. That phase is designed to shift into gear, start up the car, whatever.
I've seen those lights, I think they are quite useful. But everybody sets regularly off as soon as red-yellow light is on. Both in Germany and Denmark.
I'd love to have them installed here too, I hate people counting butterflies when the green light turns on.
There are a couple of lights with timers over here, for example in some busy inner cities for pedestrians. Their goal is to stop people from walking while red by showing them when it will become green.
I've seen those too. I think they're quite useful when there is a great flow of pedestrians.
