Traffic light countdown to red

I for one am sick of these bloody ‘amber light’ scenarios where you’re cuaght going through the lights just as they’re turning amber. Depending on the junction, this can mean the lights are red by the time you make a turn – but because you’re past the white line, you’d block a yellow box if you were to stop. Why don’t we have a ‘countdown to red’ timer shown beside the lights? Some pedestrian lights change instantly to red upon pressing a button which is extremely dangerous for both driver and pedestrian… especially for lorries or buses who can’t stop quickly.
