Austria does that: 4 seconds of the green light flashing in order to announce the yellow light.

With this change to the scenario, being required to stop before yellow makes sense. And blowing through red means you extra screwed up! (?)
On this note: In the UK, there is a yellow light prior to green; love it.
The US sometimes has something similar: visibile countdown timers for the pedestrian crossing turning form stop to go, which coincides with the car light turning from red/stop to green/go.
This encourages people to run the light by trying to turn exactly as the countdown timer hits 0, trying to race against pedestrians trying to cross crossing pedestrians.
So a pre-yellow light? This seems like you just changed what we call a yellow light to the 4 flashing greens, and made the yellow the new red. If yellow means “don’t enter the intersection”, how is that different than a red?
