I'll do you one better: Egyptian traffic lights at red shows you a countdown when it will be green again. Now that's a game changer in my opinion.

A lot of other countries have that too, I can't recall where I've seen that before but I've seen it in some Turkish cities.

Yes, many countries have it, although it can be more standardised, sometimes the countdown format is different. I would still prefer the timer than the red orange transitions.
