What will most likely happen? Like other ridiculous dedicated left turn arrows, they will change this one as well, with the result of a big back up to make the left, just like Morse and 466A. Of course, just like Morse and 466A, the turn lane is not long enough to accommodate this, so the last car will have their arse sticking out in the left lane and some distracted driver will plow into them at full speed.

So, pick your poison.
Glad to hear the flashing yellow is still there. I hope it remains that way but given the changes at Morse & 44 and Buena Vista & 44 I'm not optimistic.
