They better make sure their yellow light clearance intervals are correct.
I beat a ticket on a poorly timed yellow. The light still isn’t adjusted correctly, I contacted the town, etc.
They did a news piece on this in Dallas, and interviewed the woman whose department oversees these kinds of programs. She said the lights were set according to some national standard, but at the bare minimum allowed.
When the reporter quoted statistics that accidents could be further eliminated (by a large percent) simply by extending the yellow light, she said she didn't think that was necessary. Was kind of snooty about the whole thing. (I did not like her, and wished the reporter would have grilled her more.)
I am curious as to what basis you had to claim the yellow light clearance interval was incorrect. There is an ITE formula for yellow light intervals (which takes into account speed limit, uphill or downhill, coefficient of friction, width of intersection, etc) which generally gives between 3 and 5 seconds as a correct time. Anything other than that time has no basis in fact or actual results. It is:
Yellow interval = t + (V / (2a + 64.4g)) + ((W + L) / V)
