Exactly the same in Michigan, yellow means STOP unless unsafe to do so. Michigan public act 300 of 1949

I'll concede that you are likely correct as well, but googling that term reveals this...
AN ACT to provide for the registration, titling, sale, transfer, and regulation of certain vehicles operated upon the public highways of this state or any other place open to the general public or generally accessible to motor vehicles and distressed vehicles; to provide for the licensing of dealers; to provide for the examination, licensing, and control of operators and chauffeurs; to provide for the giving of proof of financial responsibility and security by owners and operators of vehicles; to provide for the imposition, levy, and collection of specific taxes on vehicles, and the levy and collection of sales and use taxes, license fees, and permit fees; to provide for the regulation and use of streets and highways; to create certain funds; to provide penalties and sanctions for a violation of this act; to provide for civil liability of manufacturers, the manufacturers of certain devices, the manufacturers of automated technology, upfitters, owners, and operators of vehicles and service of process on residents and nonresidents; to regulate the introduction and use of certain evidence; to regulate and certify the manufacturers of certain devices; to provide for approval and certification of installers and servicers of certain devices; to provide for the levy of certain assessments; to provide for the enforcement of this act; to provide for the creation of and to prescribe the powers and duties of certain state and local agencies; to impose liability upon the state or local agencies; to provide appropriations for certain purposes; to repeal all other acts or parts of acts inconsistent with this act or contrary to this act; and to repeal certain parts of this act on a specific date.

I would be curious to read the language of Michigan's law, as I am curious what define's "unsafe" to stop. If I'm 200 feet from an intersection at 55 mph, in theory I should be able to slam on my brakes and bring my vehicle to a stop before the stop line and then sit stopped at the yellow light for an additional 5 or 6 seconds... but it seems to me that a sudden stop is more likely to cause an issue than simply continuing on and passing through the intersection while under the yellow light.
