By the way, at 50 MPH, 3 seconds @ 73.3 FPS is 220 feet. That means you'd be able to travel 220 feet in the time that the light stays yellow.

If you're within 220 feet, you're safe. If you're outside of 220 feet, you've got more than enough time to brake to a complete stop. They don't hire civil engineers to run numbers on traffic intersections for no reason, my friend.
