That is usually the case.
That would suck.

What about the poor Joe Schmo who is sitting with his rear end out in the left lane because 25 cars are backed up in the turn lane because the nanny state changed the arrow to red and gets plowed into at full speed?

That would also suck.

Basically, being the innocent victim of another's negligence sucks. The question on the table is: would a dedicated red arrow at that intersection fix the problem or just shift the risk to a different problem? Again, you can't fix stupid.
