The only real consolation for missing a yellow light and having to stop at the red, is if you end up at the front of the line. On 'the front lines' you could say, because it does feel a lot like you're leading an army of cars/commuters into battle, the war to be on time, as opposed to brutally late. Each traffic light is like a battle. There's nothing quite like idling powerfully at the very front, with the best view, waiting to test your reaction time for the next battle.
