Yup, they also have those in LA, but not in most places. But some intersections don't have crosswalk lights, so the stoplight progress bar has an advantage there.

I would like little "holes" in the side of the light so I can see the status of the cross-traffic light at intersections :



If I had those, I could easily figure out when the cross-traffic light is changing at intersections. This would help me becuase it would make it easier to time my engine restart. This would be a cheap retrofit to existing stop light systems. But, I don't think you can do my idea because of safety issues. I am guessing that some people would argue that this little light would confuse drivers.
