Not true Come to Texas some City's lay there traffic lights on there sides for 14' high trailers to go under. So red left yellow middle and green right. And confuse Red Green Color Blind people who normally can tell light on top stop light on bottom go. Watch out Traffic Red light cameras. Soon Like the UK we will have speeding cameras too.

German drivers are far better trained to start with. Any American city that tried that would have 50,000 accidents in a few days because drivers here, poorly trained to start with, have far less patience, and a grossly inflated sense of entitlement. Parts of the Autobahn have no speed limit, this is true. There is not a highway in the US or Canada that comes anywhere near the absolute minimum construction standards of the Autobahn, or the maintenance standards enforced. They also have special driving classes, for drivers who already have completed standard driving classes, on driving the Autobahn. Travel in the left like people do here gets you a massive fine as well, that is why so few drivers do it.

In America all the lights go green, yellow, red, green. In some Eurpoean contries the ligths go green, yellow, red, yellow, green.

As stated by some one else-
THEY AREN'T
Which can get you into a lot of trouble when you assume they are.
There was one near here, saw some drives get tickets for running it. Saw another sit through the light three times before they figured it out.

for the same reason all stop signs are octagons, all passing lane signs are triangles, and all construction signs are orange.
Standardization.
