    How many teeth do you plan on pulling out? Yield is a reference to right of way.

    Flashing amber does not indicate right of way in any way.

    It solely means that the traffic light cannot be used to determine it, but also does not prevent one from going further.

    If you approach a flashing amber, it tells you to yield right of way to anything beyond it.

    Amber/red is only marginally more efficient than our system. The reason being that all red time is longer in the Amber/red system than the way we do things here.

    There's the same number of seconds in a day irrespective of the colour combinations of traffic light sequences.

    Given how frequently I find myself having to pause before taking off at a green light for the last two (or sometimes three) stragglers sailing through the red light from the other direction I wouldn't see a combined red + amber helping much.

    If anything addind red + amber would probably make things worse as some quick off the line drivers will treat it as go and inevitably meet with the drivers from the other direction who treat amber as 'go quick before the lights change' and the resultant collision completely block the junction for everybody for the next hour.
