    One thing the US could do to make traffic lights a lot safer is copy eg France and only show the lights on the near side of the intersection.

    In France, if you move up too far, you can no longer see what color the light is — consequently everyone waits back where they should.

    In the US, you can edge out into the traffic and still see your light.
