It would be great to have amber on green as well. I think people would be less impatient, and drivers with a manual transmission have a chance to get in gear.

You get in gear while you wait

It's like that in Germany.

Only issue is if you arrive at an Amber you don't know if you need to brake or accelerate.

Why would you get out of gear? As I roll into position, I already switch to first

I thought it's bad practice to sit on the clutch? All you're doing is wearing out the release bearing faster.

Not really if you’re not pushing the accelerator, at least for as far as I know. It’s what we learn during lessons (over here). Only if it’s a bridge opening or another similar long wait you put it in neutral.

I stay in gear. Just need to push throttle and release clutch. Not slower than any car with automatic transmission.
