Also, if left and straight have the same timing, there is a forked double head arrow (left and forward) or right and forward or (...)

the red light means you are not allowed to levitate
I think it is a result of amakudari, someone has a company that puts in traffic lights, the more complex the light, the bigger the margin

Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen one of those...or maybe I just never noticed. Are they super common?

There is a reason that I could not recall the exact traffic sign at first. And that is not Alzheimer's.
But here is one.
Unobtrusive as they are, you will notice this sign when you are waiting for a red light and the car behind you starts to claxon frantically (at least that is how it works in Hyogo)...

Up here, on winding/hilly roads where you can't see the upcoming light, there'll sometimes be a "preview" light that is identical to the one around the corner, except that it has a teeny-tiny little sign below it that says "予告信号", I think it was. In fact, the sign is so tiny that I don't think I've every read one properly. So if the preview light is red you know the real one around the bend is red too and you can slow down in time to stop in a civilised manner. If it's green you go like a bat out of hell, of course.
Confused the crap out of me when I first encountered one.

Yeah...sounds like unless you know the area, that is the likely experience. Who the hell came up with this shit?

Question of the day....
Anyone who has driven here has encountered construction, parking lot attendants, or some sort of asshole in the street waving those illuminated orange wands at you. Sometimes they want you to stop, sometimes they're obviously waving you through...but sometimes you have no idea WTF they are trying to signal. I understand waving that shit for hours is boring and you get tired...
So my question is, is there some sort of standard signally motion set for these fuckers? ....or are they just doing whatever motion they feel like?
