Germany
Some signals show the red-yellow for only one second, most common in Baden-Wüttemberg. German signals can have either a backboard (like in the photo of Stuttgart Albstraße, or similar to the ones used in the Benelux) or no backboard.
Some lights have the dreaded camera, that flashes a picture of your car's license plate if you go through a red light, and possible suspension of driving privileges. This is called Blitzkontrolle.

Stuttgart
Don't be confused with the Stadtbahn (light rail subway) signals, which are similar in shape to normal signals.
