It's such a standard thing to me growing up in suburban Ottawa that I never even realized that it's not as common around here. But as you say, there's already precedent in Cambridge.
Left turning traffic gets a yellow, then a red, and after a short overlap of red with the opposing through traffic, the opposing traffic gets a green. If you've entered on yellow, you can exit on the red. If you find yourself stranded, then you either entered on the red, or the cross street was backed up, and you entered an intersection that you would be unable to clear.
