I'm interested to read a citation that shows that increasing yellow light length is superior to RLCs. Please send it my way. Thank you.

- AnthonyMouse 9y agoCompare the percentages for right-angle crashes on page 63 of your link to the numbers here: http://saferstreetsla.org/wp-content/uploads/reports/A%20Compendium%20of%20Yellow%20Interval%20Increase%20Studies.pdf http://saferstreetsla.org/wp-content/uploads/reports/A%20Com... Assuming the number of right-angle crashes is proportional to the number of people who run red lights, the reduction due to having a longer yellow light is larger than the reduction due to the RLC. And that's before considering the rear-end collisions, which a red light camera increases but a longer yellow light reduces.
- obstinate 9y agoThis is interesting, but it seems to mostly be focused on violations rather than crashes. I can see how the two might be related. But I also somewhat suspect that early into red violations may not be the type of red light running that causes accidents the most.
