New traffic signals with a flashing yellow left turn arrow have begun operating at multiple intersections.

Remember, flashing yellow arrow traffic signal heads include a flashing yellow arrow along with the standard red, yellow, and green arrows. When the flashing yellow arrow is active, drivers are allowed to make a left turn after yielding to oncoming traffic. This type of turn is called a permissive left-turn. When the flashing yellow arrow is active, drivers must judge whether it’s safe to complete the left-turn movement, similar to making a left turn into a driveway or from a two-way-left-turn-lane. When the flashing yellow arrow is not active, the traffic signal operates like traditional signals, requiring drivers to follow the normal rules for the red, yellow (steady), and green arrow lights.
