I am a canadian and I've driven in cities like Vancouver and Calgary. The yellow lights in Calgary hold so much longer (maybe even double the time?). I found it much more comfortable to drive there than in Vancouver.
That said, I've been thinking for quite some time now that it might be best to just add a count-down number on the lights to show you how many seconds are left until the green light turns yellow. If you are going to beat the light, might as well speed up a bit from afar than by a lot near the intersection.
