I've driven in Austria and I must agree that the flashing green is indeed 
a big help.  Even though it sounds like something trivial, it helps to 
know if the green light you're heading into is "stale" or not.  I also 
liked the red/yellow before the green.  Again, it doesn't sound like much 
but it is true--with a proper warning like that, people actually *move* 
when the light turns green and more cars get through the intersection.
