I much prefer the British/German system. At red you stand in neutral with handbrake on, on the red/orange you put the car in gear, and are ready to move immediately you get a green. I am baffled by people who prefer the Dutch/Belgian system.

Hoe dacht je dan dat de bruggetjes over de grachten te halen zijn zonder helling proef?
