The problem is that traffic going north on 301 is stopped at the 44 intersection red light blocking the entrance to the left turn lane so those wanting to go west on 44 can't get to the green arrow and when the northbound traffic gets the green light the arrow is red and now those wanting to go west block the northbound lane. The fix would be to have the northbound and westbound lights green at the same time and next do the same thing for the south and eastbound lanes.
