Could be. I know that around here, they sure aren't long enough to always stop safely - which doesn't mean a panic stop ending in the crosswalk with dog, groceries, and driver pressed against the windshield.
On some of the larger roads (with 50+ mph speed limits), they've started putting in advance warning lights a hundred yards or so from the intersection, that come on a few seconds before the yellow.
