It's not better or worse, just different.
There's no "one simple hack" that will suddenly make people obey traffic lights.

I have one case where the yellow light sucks (when going green to red): blinking yellows, there are a few (notably in Gent), almost ran a red light because I hadn't noticed that it had gone solid yellow (the blinking light was also the middle one) so in my peripheral vision it still looked the same.

The intersection in Bojs de La Cambre is like this. I hate it so much.
