If you increase the yellow light duration and red-green delay, won't the risk-taking drivers eventually adjust their behaviour to the same level of risk, by running the lights even later?
Exactly. You don't get a bigger fine if you run a red light after it's been red for 50ms v. 2s, and the fine isn't bigger if the other road has a green.
People are just so important that they have to get to the next red light 10 seconds faster than everyone else.
