There does seem to be an inordinate number of accidents at the intersections of Morse and 466, Morse and 466A, Buena Vista and 466 and Buena Vista and 466A.
I honestly don't think that it has to do with being allowed to turn left on green. That rule in in effect everywhere in the country. It probably has more to do with the fact that there are so many senior citizens, who no longer see well and who have diminished reflexes driving cars.
Don't forget, the law says that you can turn left on a green light only if it is safe to do so. If that is the scenario with most of these accidents, then people are turing when it is not safe to do so. I would hate to see a change in the procedure that would punish the people that know how to drive in order to accommodate those who don't.
