PS: After reading a few of the comments in that article, I can see why some blogs disable them.
Increasing the yellow light timer seems like a very sensible and inexpensive idea.In fact, six U.S. cities have been found guilty of shortening the yellow light cycles below what is allowed by law on intersections equipped with cameras meant to catch red-light runners. Those local governments have completely ignored the safety benefit of increasing the yellow light time and decided to install red-light cameras, shorten the yellow light duration, and collect the profits instead.
