To be fair, whether the sequence was red to amber to green or red to
red plus amber to green doesn't make any practical difference so is
unnecessary information. It only matters in quiz shows.

No, it matters when you're approaching an amber light - does it mean
slam on the brakes because it's about to be red, or just lift off the
throttle because it's about to be green?

Well, we know from experience that local authorities set the lights so
that 95% of time it will be necessary to stop...

It seems very unlikely you could be approaching and not see what
preceded it. The amber phase between red and green is very short so you
would need to be teleported to the spot in front of it.
