The problem has a simple solution.
The timing needs to proportional to the size of the intersection and the given speed limit. People need to be able to concentrate on stopping or proceeding and not worrying about a ticket.
By making the yellow lights longer, people will have a fair amount of time to proceed or stop safely, without flooring it or slamming on the brakes.
Keep the cameras in place as they will then catch the people who are blatently running the lights.
Nothing is perfect and there will still be problems, but this solves the biggest issues.
I think the government is in the business of entrapment then anything else with the current setup.
