According to their studies, cities that ran with red-light cameras between 2010 and 2014 saw a 21 percent drop in the number of fatal red-light-running crashes, while those that turned their systems off saw a 30 percent increase.

an increase of 2 seconds to the yellow with a half-second where all lights are red will have the same effect. Obviously, this would not generate revenue, so it is seldom considered.

Exactly! A two-second time where ALL lights are red will absolutely be safer.

But, zeugma...there’s no $$$$$$ in that, so we get these stupid, dangerous cameras instead.
