Approaching a set of lights which turn amber just before we reach them

As so many people treat amber as "get ready to stop" instead of stop if
it's safe to do so, the chances of being rear ended if you do stop would
be greatly enhanced.

Yes, I understand that this would be the general approach, but it's not quite
