Everytime someone approaches an intersection, you don’t know if the light is going to turn yellow and if it does, you don’t know for how long.  A four light system (green, green w/yellow, yellow, red) would give you a better idea of how far along you are in the cycle.  They did a smilar thing for pedestrian with the countdown clock at busy intersections.  If the focus is truly on safety, you need to change the operation of the red light system, otherwise, it is still revenue.
