I have heard that the yellow light is a warning that red is coming  and also 
a method of allowing time for the intersectin to clear before the next  light  
change.
One of the problems I see is that if there are 3 or 4 lanes in each  
direction, the intersection is very wide and takes a lot of time to get  through.  
Each intersection is supposed to be engineered in accordance with  Federal Safety 
standards.  And, these very wide intersections are supposed  to have a longer 
lasting yellow light. They don't always.  A friend beat a  red light ticket 
by proving exactly this point.  If you entered the  intersection at the very 
last touch of green, it was impossible to get through  and out of the 
intersection cleanly and at a safe speed before the light turned  red.
