BALTIMORE -- Baltimore City is making the times of yellow lights longer at intersections -- they'll now run 3½ to 4 seconds.This will make it nearly impossible to fight a ticket for running a red light, officials said.Earlier this year, the 11 News I-Team first reported inconsistencies with yellow light times. The federal standard is three to six seconds, but many Baltimore City signals fell short of this standard, forcing judges to dismiss as many as 20 percent of red-light running cases (
