Gee...

They have baseline data already, so why not do as all engineering studies suggest, and lengthen the yellows, see how the data changes. My prediction? If they lengthen a yellow by 1/2 sec., violations will go down 40 - 50%. If they lengthen a yellow by 1.0 sec., violations will go down 60 - 70%. Lengthening the yellows has the advangage that it's cheap and easy to do, so can be done all over town, not just at expensively-equipped camera intersections.

Will drivers get used to the longer yellows, and run those too? No! Running stays down - it does not "rebound." Proof? See the table at http://www.highwayrobbery.net/redlightca...
