This is why you have longer yellow lights and more time between one light changing to red and the cross road changing to green. We should adopt UK style lights that feature a pre-green orange as well.

Clearly red light cameras don't stop people who couldn't see the light from running it. And chances are, someone tailgating a truck that close isn't thinking about the red light cameras anyway.

Setting appropriate light timings doesn't generate revenue, but it sure makes intersections safer.
