I like the crossings in Dublin and parts of the USA where you get a
countdown indicator to when the traffic will stop.

Yes, I like those too, but many UK crossings are not that simple.
They do gap sensing in the traffic, and so usually bring the traffic
stop forward relative to the timer, which only acts as a backstop to
handle the worse case. This means the traffic stop often isn't
predictable in advance.
