Does it matter? If you're a tourist/newcomer, simply don't try to make it through a yellow light just because you can. If you can stop, do so.

That may get you rear-ended or barely so, because the driver behind may be accustomed to the usual traffic of the area going through, and perhaps he may be the one who should stop, but is not expecting you to.

So you are recommending to anyone new to an area, race through the yellows? To avoid accidents??

Look at what the other drivers do, and of course look behind you.
