The issue about insufficient green signal time to complete crossing the
intersection is not insufficient green, but insufficient yellow. The
yellow time is intended to allow completion of the crossing after the
green stops and before the conflicting green starts. With insufficient
yellow time, no amount of green is sufficient to allow a slowly
accelerating driver, such as a cyclist, to enter on the green and
complete the crossing.
