different traffic light sequences from state to state- cause accidents

wrote: Safety guidelines (and in some cases state law) require around 3 to 3.5 seconds minimum for yellow lights, to give people time to stop safely. Otherwise you'll have people who can't stop in time and go thru a red light and collide with cross traffic, or if they slam on their brakes then possibly getting hit by the car behind them. Rear end collisions increase when there are red light cameras. The argument is that the T bone accidents are more serious and are reduced by the cameras. I don'y know if I buy that or not.
