Can't you solve that by, maybe at the state level, creating some mandate around yellow light time relative to intersection length and perhaps taking into account speed limit? I mean, I'm no urban planner but an analysis around that type of protection should be a plan A, and distrust of government as described here should be a plan B. But, as per the culture, distrusting government seems to be a plan A ("but what if this perverse incentive is created..")
