The national standard for yellow lights is to allow one second for each 10 mph of the posted speed limit. So in a 55 mph posted zone, the yellow light should last at least 5.5 seconds. Recently a number of cities have been busted for shortening the yellow light times and collecting millions of dollars in fines for running red lights.
