    The yellow lights in Hannibal are really short in duration. It's a scam.

    Went through here tonight and wasn't gonna slam on the brakes with a load on my trailer, not sure exactly how far over the line I was when the light went red but sure seemed like the fastest yellow light I've ever seen.

    Guess I gotta keep an eye out for a ticket in the mail.

    If I do receive one, I surely will be emailing the prosecutor to see if mine can be upgraded to a $400 parking ticket, LOL

    I guess anything is better than a moving violation.

    Thanks 4 posting your experience with this @Kyle G.

    I've never had a problem in Hannibal.
    Maybe I was going the speed limit and had the time to stop?

    Same here, light went yellow and i didn't see the need to mash the brakes and risk getting rear ended. If I had known how short that yellow was I might have tried harder. Oh well, it's in the past now lol.
