An attentive driver waiting at a red light at a familiar intersection
will notice when the previous phase is going, and may be in a position
to notice whether that phase's light has turned yellow. In that case,
s/he can (a) check for likely red light runners, and (b) prepare to go
immediately on green if there are no red light runners or others who are
slow in clearing the intersection.
