The concept of traffic lights are perfectly safe but when they malfunction or go wrong the consequences can be dire.
You can infer what traffic lights other people have based on the behavior of their vehicles.

Conversely, if you see cars accelerating as they approach an intersection, it is likely that the traffic light for that direction is green.
