Agreed---just don't be there when the light changes. And as I posted above, don't enter it when it is obvious you are not going to be able to turn safely due to oncoming flow of traffic. What I'm really getting at is the times when 1 or 2 cars are coming and the light won't change for a while, which are the same times that a red arrow would be a detriment rather than an enhancement.
