In Canada yellow means stop, unless it's too late to stop then you need to get through the intersection during the grace period before it turns red.

Does it mean something else in the USA?

no, that is pretty much what it means in the USA. it is a heads up the light will be red in a moment

That’s the legal purpose of a yellow light, yes. However people have been getting worse and worse with actually following it. Now on green I always wait a few seconds for some yahoo to come flying through on the side street claiming he made it on yellow

No red light cameras in your parts? I get this happens, but if it's this frequent makes me wonder if there's ever any fines for it? Depending how late it is should be instant licence revokation and fine in my opinion.

A couple decades ago, there was a scandal in, I think, Chicago. They used red light cameras but then kept cutting the timing of the yellow lights, turning it into a revenue generating exercise. People remember.

That sucks (both the people running lights, and the failure in red light cameras) stay safe out there friend.

What do you mean? If you entered intersection, you can compl... Right, America. Nevermind.
