I've only heard shortening the yellow light cycle 
as an unconfirmed rumor. But I've been watching. 
<grin> 

I know from some talk show regarding cameras 
at intersections which featured someone in the 
gov't here that two humans will actually review 
the picture to see if there's something on the edge 
or some clear cut violation. Apparently it's not 
automatic or so they said. At least not yet. 

What I wish they would do is straighten out the 
light on/off patterns.  I've sat for several minutes 
through an entire cycle of red/green/yellow/red 
for each cross-street with no other cars in sight 
until it was my turn to proceed. I consider that 
a complete waste of gas.  Back east, lights that 
could figure out where the traffic was and signal 
the lights accordingly were called "smart" lights. 
Made traffic flow much easier. Can't figure out 
why in the middle of silly valley someone hasn't 
worked that one out. 

Hope this off-topic stuff isn't too off-topic. 
Apologize if it is.
