Cities Caught Shortening Yellow Light TImes For Profit?

According to the "National Motorists Association" blog:

"Short yellow light times at intersections have been shown to increase the number of traffic violations and accidents. Conversely, increasing the yellow light duration can dramatically reduce red-light violations at an intersection.

Some local governments have ignored the safety benefit of increasing the yellow light time and decided to install red-light cameras, shorten the yellow light duration, and collect the profits instead."

A list of six cities that have been "caught," with supporting links, is available here.
