Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: identifying, by one or more computing devices internal to a vehicle, a time when a traffic signal light will turn from yellow to red; estimating, by the one or more computing devices internal to the vehicle, a location of the vehicle at the identified time that a traffic signal light will turn from yellow to red; detecting, by the one or more computing devices internal to the vehicle, a starting marker at an intersection associated with a traffic signal light while the vehicle is in motion; determining, by the one or more computing devices internal to the vehicle, whether the estimated location of the vehicle will be at least a threshold distance past the starting marker into the intersection; and when the estimated location of the vehicle is determined to be at least a threshold distance past the starting marker into the intersection, determining, by the one or more computing devices internal to the vehicle, that the vehicle should continue through the intersection.
