The signal not flashing would mean one will make it if traveling at the speed limit.

I wish lights had the countdown to green, like many newer crosswalks have the countdown to stop. That would be invaluable to assist with deciding to cut the engine, EOC, and coasting in areas I am not familiar with, or with lights that change depending on other sensors or time of day. Have you ever driven a common route of yours at a time you usually don't drive? Sometimes its goofy.
