Aspects of the disclosure relate to determining whether a vehicle 100 should continue through an intersection 502. For example, the one or more of the vehicle's computers 110 may identify a time when the traffic signal light 526 will turn from yellow to red. The one or more computers may also estimate a location of a vehicle at the time when the traffic signal light will turn from yellow to red. A starting point 350 of the intersection may be identified. Based on whether the estimated location of the vehicle is at least a threshold distance past the starting point at the time when the traffic signal light will turn from yellow to red, the computers can determine whether the vehicle should continue through the intersection.
