> red light cameras however, they were shown to actually cause more accidents
Adding to this, the issue was not directly with the cameras themselves but with the length of the yellow light. In order to increase revenue from traffic cameras, municipalities were reducing the amount of time the traffic light was yellow. However, reducing the length of the yellow light also leads to an increase in car crashes.
