I agree. The left turn on a green light can be very dangerous at these big intersections, the one at morse and 466 A included. The traffic comes so fast and people get out in the middle of the intersection to make their turn, thus causing poor visibility for drivers and just a mess at the intersection. I rarely go on a green light when traffic is busy. I'd rather be safe than be t-boned by a car going 50 mph. I don't make lefts on a green light unless I'm absolutely sure nobody is coming. Sooner or later someone behind me is going to start beeping their horn and giving me gestures because they think I should go. It's my life and I won't be bullied Into making a fatal choice.
