Stop lights should be like in London. On the near side of the intersection so you can only see them if you haven't bundled your way into the crosswalk / intersection. People are encouraged to creep forward with lights opposite the intersection.

I google imaged London traffic light to see what you are referring to and found this. I was concerned for a moment.

edit: forgot a word

Haha that's funny, showed up on a search for me too.

Just imagine if you drive into the cross walk you can no longer see the light because it's on the near side of the intersection. So you have to stay out of the cross walk and intersection to know when the light changes. No blocking the box, crosswalk, or ridiculous creeping forward when perpendicular traffic goes yellow.
