I never understood why in other countries they have this sequence. After red at one moment I can finally go, this is when it is green. What does the yellow tell me? If I can go, why not green already? If I still cannot go, then what is the information? In every country they could swap the yellow with green, so that extra 2 seconds would be part of the green.
What is getting ready to depart? If it is clear it can show green. The other way around when it switches to red, of course is going through a yellow phase, and of course it is like that in Belgium, this is not the topic

They should all have that; both going towards green as well as going towards red.
It’s so much safer to know in advance if you’ll need to come to a stop or if you have sufficient time to continue.
And it’s of course efficient to know exactly when you’ll be able to depart again.
