A point I always try to bring up when discussing this issue. I've noticed that we are starting to get these intersection cameras in my neck of the woods. It seems, (I'll have to check to be sure), that the length of the yellow has been shortened. It seems this would generate a greater number of red light runners and consequently, more revenue.

I can however, see why some folks might be in favor of these cameras. It seems like I see someone running a red light at every intersection I am stopped at.

When I run through a yellow, watching it turn red just as I pass beneath the light, and think, "man, I just made it", I look through the rear view mirror and see that four or five cars behind me ran the light as well.

There was a news story a few years ago titled something like "Tale of the 3 Second Yellow Light". I could have sworn I posted it to FR, but I can't find it now. It was about a motorist who received a ticket for running a red. He timed the yellow lights along that stretch of road and found that all the others, which had no cameras on them, had yellow lights that were about a second longer than the camera equipped light where he was ticketed.

I'm curious do you live in a densely populated area? I was idly wondering today if people drive more aggressively when there is more crowding.
