Camera ploy

I am for ticketing drivers who run red lights or commit other traffic infractions, but let’s be fair about it. The yellow lights seem shorter where there are cameras so they can get you for running the light. Why not extend the yellow light?

They should also post when the light will change, counting down the seconds as the lights for pedestrians do. That way, there is no excuse for running the light.
