Unfortunately, as many drivers are ticked off at having to stop at every third traffic light, they often RUN the tail end of the yellow, just as drivers coming from the side are leaving rubber tails as their light is getting ready to turn green. All to often it gets messy...

The Road and Traffic Authority syncronise the lights wherever they can. We have a road here that goes from Parramatta to the Hume Highway which must have about twenty sets of lights. A couple of times now, when starting at the first set with little traffic, when I have remained at the speed limit I have traveled the entire length without getting a red light.
