Yes, at certain intersections they replaced the blinking yellow arrow (meaning you may turn with caution) with a solid red arrow(meaning sit there and twiddle your thumbs even when there is no oncoming traffic). Some intersections are more dangerous than others, especially considering the low level of driving skills exhibited by many Villagers (usually the ones that can't see over the steering wheel, drive at 20 mph, and get on TOTV and clammer for more police and more tickets). In all fairness, SOME of the intersections that now have a solid red arrow had multiple accidents. However, there are some intersections where the replacement was idiotic, as described in post #2. Also, I am offering a "prize" for the first person to post the trite, worn out and essentially vapid "we're retired, what's the hurry" (usually by those with the driving skills mentioned above)
