When I was in Ireland, I thought the lights were awesome, they went from Green to yellow to Red then yellow again then Green.
On yellow everyone was already starting to move, by green everyone was rolling 2-3-4 cars back. It was glorious.
I wish there was a device you could put in your car that would warn you the light is about to go green. Maybe I wouldn't sit through 2nd and 3rd lights as only 10 cars get through each rotation due to sleepers.
