This is the corner of Tatum and McDonald in paradise Valley. Get ready to start your stopwatch around the 35 second mark, where I say that I timed the yellow and it is possibly 3 seconds...

Yes, it really IS 3 seconds. At 40mph, this is a totally insufficient duration. It's supposed to be 4.3 seconds for the road speed plus the fact that you have limited visibility of the traffic signal from a distance due to the road curving.
Note that within ONE DAY of my inquiring about this intersection, the timing of the yellow mysteriously changed to 4.3 seconds! I wonder how/why that happened!!!

Thank you! I absolutely abhor those radar cameras! Especially when they were dotted all over the freeways... I've never gotten flashed by a radar... but I just dislike the Napolitano blatant and professed reason of bringing in "revenue" by doing this very type of thing. Radars I mean. Well, maybe the cheating too... who knows! >:-|
Where does a person get the information regarding the legal light durations. I.E. how long the yellows have to be and at what speed limits they are timed for?
TheCadaverman: try googling "part 4 highway traffic signals state of california" and look at p 90 of the 1st entry. Also try "part 4d traffic control signal features" to get similar info in manuals for another state or two. These are found in each state's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (look it up in wikipedia) which is a manual of Federal guidelines imposed on the states by way of threatening the reduction of Federal Highway funding.
Note: because of this video, all tickets at that intersection between 5/6 and 6/15 have been DISMISSED! Without this video, there would have been no proof that there was ever a problem at that intersection!

Just like the War On Drugs, they always tend to increase the very thing they're fighting.
