I don't know if I agree with the "speed up" part of your post,but I
certainly agree with the "don't slow down" part.

Problem is that if don't know how hard a stop's required of me. If I knew
the length of the yellow, I could excersize reasonable judgement.  But
without knowing, I'm stuck.  Each light has a different requirement; but the
driver can't tell what that requirement is.
