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.)

Regarding the above post, and whether or not you can make it through a yellow light, I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with you about it. Use common sense. I've driven in the same conditions as many other drivers on this and other forums, and the relative number of complaints about the light timing pales in comparison to other road-going comments, such as speed limits, etc. everywhere I go, because it's really not a problem.
If you've got an issue with the way the contracts are drawn up for the light cameras, go to a public forum (in RL, not on the internet) and say something. That's why they're there.
Nothing gets done unless someone actually quits *****ing and gets up off their ass and does something about it.
But seriously - I hold the same view. If you get a ticket at a red light, it's your fault.
