Do traffic lights take the piss?

Why do they quickly change to red just literally seconds before you go through, and what's the point in amber, not one traffic light around Sunderland uses amber, it's either red or green.
 
No, you eejit.


... although I reserve the right to not include the lights at the Kayll Road Library/General crossing in this because those absolutely do take the piss.

Traffic lights only turn red just before you go through if you jump them.
 
Even by your usual shambolic posting standards, this is a new low.
They go amber to warn you they’re about to go red. Y’know, so they don’t quickly go red and surprise you.
And I’m pretty sure every traffic light has an amber, unless it’s broken.
 
The american system of flashing amber is the way to go. Traffic lights, A19 / A690 3am and you sit on red. Much better if off peak just flashed amber ie show caution but can still go.
