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.

Or get the cops out of wherever they are and station them at those intersections enough to keep the regulars guessing. After that, all you have to do is park a cop car there (instead of letting cops drive them home and park them in their driveways), and you might find folks slow down.
