We have pedestrian walk timers here in Phoenix and they are very easy for drivers to see.
The situation described in the article happens when a driver is approaching a traffic light which is green but notices that there is only 1 or 2 seconds left on the walk count down and decides to stop. A driver behind, who may or may not have seen the count down isn't ready for a car to begin stopping as it approaches a light which is still green. Bang.
