you can gauge when the lights are about to change to amber as the Walk\Don't Walk signs start counting down from 20 for the pavement users.
That's your cue to:
Maintain speed\Increase slightly to ensure you clear the line before it gets to red.
Slow down as you ain't gonna make it.
At certain approaches they have overhead gantries at a set distance from the lights, if those lights start flashing & you can see them start, so if traveling at legal max speed you have adequate braking time to stop. If you are almost right on top of them when they do so, most people increase speed to ensure they clear them or risk being flattened by the jacked up truck riding their ass.
