I find it hilarious how they had to put a sign right next to the traffic light to tell people how it works LMAO

The sign is used to indicate a stop line, not how traffic lights work. Often the sign might be a several metres in front of the traffic light to allow for the flow of oncoming traffic.

It's at temporary lights for roadworks, usually when a lane is closed. You need to know where to stop, which might be further back so incoming traffic can get past you
