I had suggested before that the LEFT turn lanes for 466 and 466a be moved to the LEFT, take out some or all of the flowers, and put the left turn lane where it should be. Take a look at he NEW left turn lane on 441 to 466a, it is a full lane width to the left, there is a cross hatched lane to the right. Great visibility.

I think moving the left turn lanes is the ultimate and correct solution. While I agree that RED arrows will help, they will not help the person that entered the intersection, before these changed to red.

I am not sure if this solution can be applied at the intersections on 44.

Since these are COUNTY roads (maybe state??), I am guessing that FDOT will need to get involved, but if enough people complain, maybe something will be done.

Please do not shoot the messenger, this is just MHO.
