I've actually seen timers in some cities (Edmonton's 82nd Avenue comes to mind) where the flashing 'stop hand' for pedestrians counts down numerically to when it's a solid stop hand (and thus the intersection's traffic light turns yellow).
I agree that timers like those would be very beneficial at all traffic-light controlled intersections. Especially for roads with higher posted speed limits.
