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.
Yeah, the shortening of the yellow lights is crazy. In a lot of cases, they knew they could get away with it because nobody had timed yellow lights before, they had no reason to care.
