Also, if you are in the left turn lane and do not try to turn on the yellow arrow the cars behind you start honking to get you to move.

What needs to happen to get the yellow arrows removed and red lights for the turn lanes when there is no green left turn arrow?
You're gonna need to call FDOT about that. I'm sure local LEO have already brought it to their attention. My opinion, if I can't see past the cars to know what is coming, I'm staying in place. If the hockey's wanna go around me and give it a shot, let um. I'll be a great witness for "Failure to yield right of way making a left turn".
