Around three years ago the yellow time in the Netherlands got increased with 0.5 seconds[0] based on research of driver behaviour in yellow light situations[1]. The conclusion is that overall people's behaviour wouldn't change much when there was more yellow time (in both 'stopping' and 'running' drivers). But that for a small portion of the 'running' drivers (the 'risk takers', who also just won't stop if the light has already turned red) the amount who jumped red would reduce. In the time after that I noticed a lot more cars that I felt where jumping the red light. But if that is due to the increase of the decision time or that the changing to red for one lane and change to green for the other lane are closer together I don't know.
