Isn't current thinking that roads are safer with fewer distractions,
fewer signs, fewer flashing lights etc.? It makes driver more cautious
and when they do encounter a sign/warning/light they more notice.

I think so, but the idea is not to add more, it is simmply to avoid
having one red light after another when driving along a major road at
night. Leave them on green, flashing amber on the side roads and treat
the flashing ambers as stop signs. You'd only need the lights to be
operating normally where two major roads meet.
