You can get stuck and the breaks can break and you have no where to go
A flashing yellow light means you should drive with caution when approaching and moving through the intersection.
Drive on ahead until you can get into the proper lane, then turn at another intersection
Controlled intersections have traffic lights, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic. At a controlled intersection where you face a green light, drive carefully through the intersection at a steady speed. If the light has been green for a while, be prepared to stop when it turns yellow. However, if you are already so close that you cannot stop safely, drive through the intersection with caution. Where you face a red light, come to a complete stop and wait until the light turns green. When you approach an intersection on a main road, and the intersection is blocked with traffic, stop before entering the intersection and wait until the traffic ahead moves on. This does not apply if you are turning left or right. At a controlled intersection where you face a yield sign, slow down or stop if necessary and wait until the way is clear before driving through the intersection. At a controlled intersection where you face a stop sign, come to a complete stop. Drive through the intersection only when the way is clear (Diagram 2-15).
If you have a double-yellow stripe in the center of the road, then you are not allowed to pass. Same rule applies to a single yellow stripe, or when a solid line is on your side and a dotted line on the other.

Yes Because when you drive in high speed you can't stop immediately if anything undesirable happened.
Wait until the intersection clears up so you can pass it. Common sense, you wouldn't want to drive into them just because the green light told you to.
Looking to the right
Traffic laws vary of course. In places where there is a solid yellow light, indicating that it will soon be red meaning stop, generally you can enter the intersection while it is yellow. The core idea is, "stop if safe to do so." If you could have stopped, but instead accelerate to make it through while still yellow, one might argue that you violated the idea, and in some areas this is against the law. Also, in some areas (such as Oregon) where you should stop at yellow unless it's unsafe, you are expected to drive through the intersection "cautiously."
