What some are proposing is that the yellow flashing arrow be changed to red when the straight away light turns green. This means you sit there. You sit there if it is clear no one is coming. You sit there at 10 PM when there is no traffic. You sit there for absolutely no reason other than a few morons turned right in front of oncoming traffic. As Judge Judy says, "You can't fix stupid". And guess what---a red arrow won't fix stupid either---they will just find another way to manifest their stupidity.

The lights can be timed to change so that the red arrow goes off during low traffic hours. That technology has been around forever.
However, since the lights all along 466A aren't timed at all, maybe the county hasn't put that software update.
