They have found that if they shorten the yellow even two seconds revenue goes way up. The companies who install them often insist on shorter yellows since they pay for the entire installation in return for a steep chunk of the fines. Once the locals get trained they start slamming on their brakes at the first hint of a yellow and the accidents go up. Lots of people get rear ended. The cameras however are all about safety!
