traffic lights
At 35 miles per hour, It typically takes 3.5 car lengths to come to a stop. That is provided someone is not behind you! There is a real danger if someone with quick reaction time will attempt to stop with a tailgator right behind them.
If a light is under 4-5 seconds on the yellow, the light is designed to create traffic violations on a road speed of 35 mph.
I think the idea is to put up cameras to "catch" the violators. The contracts on these devises specifies 3.5 seconds on the yellow light. Seems a little suspicious to me that the camera company designates how fast the light changes.
