TheNewspaper.com highlights what happened at a red-light camera intersection in Springfield, Missouri, when the yellow-light time was increased:

Springfield, Missouri found that lengthening the yellow signal warning time at intersections that had previously been selected for the city’s new red light camera program has now eliminated profit from the system. The city has decided to address this problem by moving its cameras to intersections where the yellow warning time has been shortened by at least half-a-second.

Just remember — it’s about safety, not revenue.
