Yep, if you really want safer intersections you make longer yellow lights. They've found tyese these companies putting up the RLCs have been actually making them as short as possible to increase tickets.
Up here in Chicago they did that and accidents have not been reduced by the cameras and gone up at some intersections. Compared to Evanston just north of us, who doesn't have any cameras and has lengthened their Yellow lights to at least 4.5 seconds and usually 5.0+ seconds and accidents have been on a steady decline.
Money grab and NOTHING more.
