Traffic laws allow running a yellow if stopping would require slamming the brakes and cause a traffic hazard. In a fuel economy oriented world I could imagine traffic laws permitting running a yellow or even a fresh red if the color change caught you towards the end of your pulse. On the occasions when I ran a yellow because it was almost impossible to stop on short notice at the end of my pulse, at least 2-3 other cars behind me would also keep going, I'm sure they caught the red. I keep an eye on them in the mirror, expecting red/blue flashing lights...
