3. Here is what I see. People do not stop for yellow lights

Most of my 50 years of driving yellow meant caution and you should stop because the next light will be red.
But now yellow seems to mean hurry up and get through the intersection. That is why there are rear end accidents.
If I slow down and stop at a yellow light I sometimes am almost hit by the driver behind me wanting to get through the light.
And I have seen more and more people if they think they can make it, will go through red lights and do not stop at stop signs if it means they might have to yield to the car that has the right of way.
Drivers are getting more reckless every year.
Keep the cameras and let people pay for their recklessness that endangers other lives.
