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?

Personally, I think the problem is an excessive speed limit in a congested area and a lack of traffic light coordination. Cars are traveling 45-55 mph and after getting stopped light after light, they are more likely to blow through a red light. The speed limit from 301 to Buena Vista needs to be reduced.
