Best thing I ever saw was when passing thru Ohio 2 years ago. They had a sign quite a ways back from each stoplight with a yellow light on it. The sign said something like "prepare to stop when flashing", based on if you were driving the 55 mph speed limit. It was during memorial day weekend, and traffic still moved great.

I really wish that they would make yellow lights go longer here (and probably most everywhere else too). They are way too short. Nobody should have to make a panic stop during something as routine as stopping for a traffic light.
