In order to be most effective it would need to be dynamic rather than a fixed on/off like rear brake lights. Stopping doesn't mean stopped. So perhaps a progressive light bar that starts lighting up at 20mph and adds a light for each 5mph drop until the whole bar is lit indicating a full stop. That would give pedestrians a sense of rate of deceleration.
