You first said "can't even enter yellow" (no qualification) and then subsequently added
additional qualifications/requirements where "yellow" was not sufficient: "when it turns red" (indeed, this
could include entering when green), "unless it's not possible", and "officer's discretion".
It's different because just "yellow" is sufficient in the "In just a few states you can't even enter on yellow" case and, in the second cases, some
other condition must be met ("yellow" is not sufficient).

So, these are
not states where "you can't even enter on yellow" because you've added
another requirement/qualification and clearly indicate that there
are conditions when you can enter the yellow!

Again, citation needed. I suspect that no state has a law that states that you can't ever enter the yellow.
