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?

Yes, that is one example of a CONTROLLABLE and relatively inexpensive fix to the INFRASTRUCTURE. There is a nationwide RELUCTANCE to spend money on needed safety and infrastructure. (Did I hear someone think tax increase, OH, dear God, dear me?). This also reminds me of the unnecessary speeding by about 25% of the vehicles that I see going in front of my house - which I feel has increased in the last 3 years due to increased traffic or psychological attitude changes. I feel that a person that SPEEDS has the same aggressive ATTITUDE that would make them susceptible to NOT being aware of that mechanical, technical, traffic flow problem that this thread has HIGHLIGHTED.
