yes. however make sure to check your state's specific definition of intersection. For example in Arizona the intersection is an extension of the curb lines. This is a much smaller area then in California where an intersection is defined by the crosswalk lines.
Nation-wide, it is legal to enter an intersection on yellow. You may be cited if you are making a left turn without properly yielding the right-of-way. You may also be cited if you accellerate to get into the intersection when you have a yellow light.
Do not enter the intersection.
When the traffic light turns yellow as you enter the intersection, you should stop if it is safe to do so. If you cannot stop safely, proceed through the intersection with caution.
Running a yellow light may result in a traffic violation, as it is typically considered illegal to enter an intersection when the light is yellow.
usually 8 feet from the entrance to the intersection, we are to stop at the stop sign, not the intersection, once the stop is made, proceed with caution to the entrance and then look both ways and then enter into intersection once it is safe to do so
If you were in the middle of the intersection it is your fault as you are not legally allowed to enter an intersection unless you have the time to safely complete the turn.
its legal because you already passed itAnother View: It depends on the situation. If your car was in the interesection, stopped, awaiting a break in oncoming traffic in order to turn left, and the light turned red, you must clear the intersection, so you would be doing so lawfully.HOWEVER - if you were simply driving straight through the intersection and entered the interesection against an amber light which then truned red when you were in the intersection, you can be charged.
A car must enter the intersection to make a turn. Restrictions on when you may enter any given intersection are given by the road signs and road markings.

When you see a flashing yellow light at an intersection you should proceed with caution.
"A driver of a vehicle which is making a turn at an intersection who is facing a steady circular yellow or yellow arrow signal shall not enter the intersection or marked crosswalk unless there is sufficient space on the other side of the intersection or marked crosswalk to accommodate the vehicle driven without obstructing the through passage of vehicles from either side."
If you're in the intersection and it is green then turns to yellow/red, it is fine to go. Entering the intersection after it is already yellow is unlawful driving. GA
