i drive stick too. since US lights dont go yellow before green, my solution is to watch the signal for the cross traffic when i'm the first car in line, and just to watch a car or 3 ahead when i'm not first. i too put it in neutral at lights and set the handbrake if it's not flat/level. ironically, maybe people are patient about lights here. they only honk if you've been sitting at a green for more than 3-4 seconds, usually. and 99 times out of 99, the person is sitting a green because they're playing with their phone. no amount of visual warning that it's about to turn green will help these morons.
