listening to the audible traffic light at such an intersection instead 
of
the flow of traffic?"

Maggi, that's just the point, if you don't pay attention to the
traffic instead of that mechanical bird that could dump on you at
any minute, you won't be around long.  How many driver's go through
lights?  In fact, one of the real dangers of those signals is the
false security they evoke.
