It's current character is of course in the eye of the beholder. When the day comes that its place in either National or World standings becomes threatened by its current local/domestic politics then the power elite will change things on a dime, for less than 10 cents!
A YELLOW light means STOP ! Not go like hell to beat the light.
I guess we need to let the NY drivers license dept know their manual (under the heading of Traffic Signals on page 40), is WRONG(!) as stated...
"Steady Yellow: The light will change from green to red. Be "PREPARED" to "STOP" for the "RED" light."
"Steady Red: STOP"!
Might I advise all of us here (who might be behind Melagueman as he drives his vehicle), to follow really far behind so you don't rear end him.
Due to his above interpretation of actions needed to be taken for a "Yellow" light, one would have to come to the conclusion that the instant he sees the light going from green to "Yellow" he's going to slam on his brakes... (because in his mind and contrary to NY state DMV), a "YELLOW" light means "STOP"!!

Many people are confused about what to do when the light turns yellow. In practice it seems many people view this as a “hurry up” light and race to get through the intersection before the light turns red. This is when collisions happen. Yellow means “start stopping”. The transition from yellow to red takes the indecision out of when to stop. How many times have you seen someone try to squeeze through on a stale yellow on an advance left turn, only to have their path blocked by pedestrians stepping off the curb when the light turns green and the walk sign come on? Then opposing traffic is blocked and you have grid-lock. Under the Motor Vehicle Act, Fail to Stop for Yellow Light at Intersection is Section 128(1)(A) and Fail to Stop for Red Light at Intersection is Section 129(1). They both have the same penalty – $167, as does Section 130(2)(A)(ii) Fail to Stop for Yellow Arrow at Intersection. All three will net you two points.

Like Melaqueman, It is my experience that most people view the appearance of a "yellow" light as a trigger to speed up and see if they can beat the light.
I have looked for the crosswalk electronic signs (walking man, hand...) for so long as it is almost second nature for me so I have a good idea when the yellow is coming. If there is any question as to my ability to get through the light, I stop.
I also have a habit of watching the person immediately behind me. I try to determine if they are on the phone or are texting, and if so, I usually slow down below the speed limit (otherwise, I am trying to go with the flow of traffic so long as it is no more than a few miles above the limit).

" 2. Traffic, except pedestrians, facing a steady yellow arrow signal
may cautiously enter the intersection only to complete the movement
indicated by such arrow or make such other movement as is permitted by
other indications shown at the same time; however, said traffic is
thereby warned that the related green arrow movement is being terminated
or that a red indication will be exhibited immediately thereafter."

If you drive and pay attention to what you are doing then RLC's are not a problem.
When approaching a traffic light, the pedestrian signal either starts flashing or a countdown timer starts. You see that and prepare to STOP !!!!!
