If the "all-red" time is increased to compensate, then the time before someone else goes does not decrease. However, if they are just decreasing the yellow time

If the "all-red" time is increased to compensate, then the time before someone else goes does not decrease. However, if they are just decreasing the yellow time, and keeping the all-red the same(making the total time from yellow to opposite direction green shorter) then I agree that safety has been lowered to increase profits, and this would be super un-ethical.
- jlgreco 13y agoEven if you increase the all-red time, shorter yellows are still more dangerous. For example if you drop the yellow time too low for the legal speed limit of the road then you will create a situation where people have to start emergency braking in order to avoid running the red. This situation is unsafe for obvious reasons.
