No, the fear of getting a Red Light Ticket going through the Intersection on a Yellow Light caused the collisions.

People slammed on their Brakes and were hit from behind. They got rid of a Red Light Intersection Camera close to our House because Rear End Accidents increased there.
At least that’s the story I heard.

The cameras in Tallahassee were not producing enough revenue, so they shortened the yellow to the legal minimum. If you were not already in the intersection you would not make it through in time. According to my neighbor, the engineer on the project, it increased rear end collisions.

They have just removed the cameras as they were losing money. (Pardon, “revenue.”)
