amber light = "clear the intersection"?

From: Green Means Go, Yellow Means Go Faster

Quote:
Don't think that speeding up to get through a yellow light is a mortal sin or anything; yellow means “clear the intersection,” not “prepare to stop.”
Is this the common rule in the U.S.?

In Ontario, amber means stop, unless you cannot safely stop.
Quote:
Every driver approaching a traffic control signal showing a circular amber (yellow) light and facing the light shall stop his or her vehicle if he or she can do so safely, otherwise he or she may proceed with caution. Ontario Highway Traffic Act 144.15
