Someone posted earlier about traffic signals in Japan, so I figured I'd fill in a bit. Most of the signals here are "jisa shiki" (時差式), time difference style; in other words, your standard "this lane waits this long, every time, regardless of traffic flow". Especially common in cities at intersections that have crosswalks (aka the vast majority). After jisa shiki, the most common by far is "押しボタン式”, osi botan shiki, aka "press a button style" where they nothing changes until someone pushes a button, in which case the current cycle is interrupted. There are a couple more, but I've only seen them a few times. A lot of times (especially in cities), particular signals at large intersections will have their shiki written on a sign that hangs under the light, so it's easy to see what pattern they're using.
