This puts a positive spin on the culture in busier urban areas of expecting drivers in front to start very quickly at a green or else get a friendly reminder honk.

If you're going to look at your phone at a red, know the light timings or look at the transverse pedestrian crossing signal or transverse yellow light so you know how long you have.

I think it puts a positive spin on itself. Traffic lights work best when the green duration is utilized to the fullest extent.

In my experience, the best use of the first second of green is to allow cross traffic to clear so that I don't get hit by someone running the red.

Let's save everybody lots of risk and just all agree not to look at our phones while we drive, even at red lights.
