Default OT traffic lights

Personally I've generally thought that at night, in many locations, it
would make a lot of sense to have a green light permanently on for the
main road, with a flashing red on the side road meaning Stop and procede
when safe. A bit like France's flashing amber, but there you still have to
slow on the main road, as the side road can also be flashing amber and
traffic may emerge without stopping.

They'd probably have to use flashing amber as flashing red means "absolutely
do not proceed" (cf level crossings)
