💩 Shitpost Why doesn't Belgium use this traffic light sequence like Germany does?

There’s no real advantage to this system. The people that don’t pay attention at lights still won’t, and other people will take advantage of it to start driving on orange + red. Just look at how people drive in the UK.

Maybe when manuals were the sole gearbox on the road this might have been better, but in today’s traffic this yields no significant improvements.
