In the rare case that you stumble upon an intersection with a functioning stoplights in Egypt, sometimes they have these real cool countdown ones. It's just a big screen that counts down in red or green letters from 60. There's no need for a yellow light since you can see how much seconds you've got left before it turns red. It also gives you a fair warning when it's going to turn red, rather than a few short seconds that a yellow light gives you.
Personally I think this is the best method, at least on busy streets that almost always have traffic (which is like every street in Egypt).
