If you're within 220 feet, you're safe. If you're outside of 220 feet, you've got more than enough time to brake to a complete stop. They don't hire civil engineers to run numbers on traffic intersections for no reason, my friend.

So no reaction time, huh? I'm glad your car has the yellow detector that automatically applies instant braking.
Civil engineers run the numbers. When the camera company gets involved, those numbers get thrown away to make more revenue. (In fact, sometimes the camera company's contract actually defines the maximum yellow time the city is allowed to set.)
