In any case, I drive through one of these daily and I don't think it is reducing accidents. Not that reducing accidents is really the point of these, of course, they are money-printing machines for the city -
but because of the cameras, people are likely to hammer on their brakes when approaching this intersection to avoid getting a ticket and cause a rear-end accident. That seems far more likely to cause an accident than someone who clears the intersection when the light is orange.

You are correct on all points.
