The trouble is when you have people who are dealing with driving in unfamiliar areas. You're always going to have someone who genuinely makes a mistake. Knowing this, you adjust light timing to give sufficient time for the intersection to clear up before the cross street gets a green.
You don't need to beat people until they're red and bloody with a rolled up red light camera ticket and call it "making the streets safer".

I know I'm replying to a somewhat old post, but which part of Graeme S' post did you not understand? Changing the duration of the lights won't do anything, as soon as drivers catch on they'll just use that extra time to be able to run a yellow light a few seconds later then they could have before. You just keep repeating the same thing over and over..
