what you're describing is why cyclists jump lights. I've commuted in a west coast metro for the last ten years by bike. When the opposite light changes yellow I'm on the pedals to establish myself if the lane before the cars behind me get a green. In your son's case (best to him) he'd be clearing the intersection before truck moron goes ramming speed through a crosswalk

If there’s no stopped cars in the lanes already (I live in a city, so this is super common for me), I’m way more guaranteed to do it, because trucks/buses/taxis/inattentive drivers barreling through “late yellows” is something I’ve seen waaay to many times.
