What is the statute of limitations on a camera ticket? In AZ it was 180 days - people would ignore the tickets and hide out from the process servers for 6 months to get out of paying them.
Also, afaik, red light = illegal to enter an intersection. Yellow light = red light soon.
Legal minimum is 3.5 second yellow at 35mph, 4 sec at 45 mph, if you want to time your lights or see if the yellow is too short. many municipalities will shorten yellows to generate tickets.
Sad fact is, just making yellow lights longer is cheaper and safer for everyone to implement, but doesn't generate $$$.

Mine was like $1200. It's a percentage of your car's value in phoenix... It decreases like 19% a year but new cars will kill you on the registration

Oh wait a minute, are you talking about the registration sticker which must be renewed annually or the registration process when you buy the car the first time and have to pay property taxes?

If it's annually, then it's like Virginia personal property tax on cars. I hope it isn't in addition to a property tax!
