> No new car should enter the intersection when the lights turn to yellow.
Cars will obviously enter the intersection under a yellow. It's why we have a yellow.
Even if everyone wanted to stop for every yellow, at 35 mph with average reaction time, cars will travel a minimum of 100 feet after the yellow phase starts. Some of those cars will enter the intersection.
With a typical 4 second yellow, some drivers don't even choose to stop for the first half of the yellow, of course.
