Flashing yellow left turn signals

I was recently in Pocatello, Idaho where I experienced something new at the stop light: a flashing yellow left turn signal. This allowed me, and others, to turn left without waiting for a designated green left turn signal. It's amazing how well this works. Apparently, Pocatello isn't the only city making the change. Michigan's Department of Transporation talks about it and states that it's a federal mandate. I can't wait until we have flashing yellow left turn signals. This change reduces congestion, and I would guess, pollution as well. Think about how many times you have waited to turn left while there is no on-coming traffic, but you're stuck there because you have a red turn arrow. Imagine if that light were flashing yellow and you were able to legally turn left! It's really a simple concept that can make a huge improvement in traffic flow and in the reduction of pollution. Call your state representative today to see when our traffic flow will improve.
