Red-light cameras calibrated properly?

What's the deal with the cameras at every intersection on Route 347? They look like a scene from the movie, "1984."

The yellow turns to red in one or two seconds - hardly enough time to be cautious. The bumper-to-bumper traffic every morning hardly leaves time to suddenly stop at the yellow. It's a choice of avoiding the $50 fine with a sudden stop at the yellow - which is very dangerous - or settling for the fine to avoid a major pileup.
