I think I'm fully aware of the problems concerning RLC's and the profit
enhancement techniques of the timing of yellows by the RLC provider.

Guess how I avoid running red lights. It's pretty simple, I don't run
them. The yellow would have to be incredibly short to catch *me*...
because I operate at the SL or below in every environment where RL's
exist.

You might consider that the drivers who have problems with the yellow
timings are drivers who are speeding and/or inattentive. The more
often those drivers are cited, the happier I am.

That's just my POV, I make no claim that it's "right".
