Blinking red. That way, everybody stops, checks, and goes if it's clear.

Most yellow lights last at least 4.3 seconds, next time you are at a particular intersection, time the yellow and you'll know about how much time you'd have if you saw a green turn yellow.

Yellow. It's the all important signal for the guy right in front of me, who's about to cross into the intersection, to slam on his brakes and almost get himself rear ended like a gay porn star.
