barbwirepupp It's got nothing to do with what the government says. The FYA display is proven to be safer than other displays that prevent the yellow trap allowing engineers to offer improved operations under most conditions.
The whole purpose of a red arrow was to keep left turners from crossing oncoming traffic....Flashing yellow stupidly defeats that purpose. What does he mean by "green ball" -- we have green arrows where I come from -- no confusion.
A green ball refers to a doghouse signal we’re motorists should yield. Motorists see it as a green light and don’t yield which causes crashes. The flashing yellow arrow is affective because drivers don’t have to wait for a green light. They can proceed when clear. This cuts down time while left turning vehicles have to wait for their green light, and while thru drivers wait for their green light.
Why does the signal have two red lights?
Better visibility to tell drivers the light is red
Left turn lights in Texas usually have this so if one of the red lights go out

Stupid idea, harder to see, confusing, solid green better. Don't care what the government says.

William Cummings Add to the misconception that some people have which is if you see green, it automatically means go.
