I cannot tell you how relieved I am because it became such a dangerous intersection.
A young man was killed on his scooter by someone making a left in front of him.

So thank you to the people in charge!!
That was a tough left turn. Of course, thousands of drivers a day navigated it successfully for many years. Nevertheless, I have no great objection to a dedicated left turn arrow there. On the other hand, look at the idiotic left turn arrow from southbound Morse onto 44 eastbound. You have a clear view of oncoming northbound traffic for about 3/4 mile, yet some moron decided to make that arrow turn red. Most times you just sit there while not a single car comes from the opposite direction. So, on that one a big NO THANK YOU to the "people in charge"
