说明
The left turn signal on 55 South to Lone Oak East should be changed to a left turn yield on green instead of a red arrow.
Right now, only 4-5 cars can get trough a green arrow, and it is turning yellow before the first car gets through.
You are able to see oncoming traffic far enough out for this to be safe.

Improvements to the roadway and traffic signal are required at this intersection in order to accommodate a left turn yield on green instead of a red arrow. The necessary improvements are scheduled to be completed in 2015. After the improvements are completed, a red arrow will still be needed during rush hour periods because traffic volumes are too high to allow for left turn yield on green operation. The left turn yield on green may be possible during periods of lighter traffic (i.e. evening/overnight).
In the meantime, the amount of green time for the southbound Hwy 55 to eastbound Lone Oak Rd is limited due to the traffic signal coordination on Hwy 55. In order to give more green time to the southbound Hwy 55 to eastbound Lone Oak Rd left turn, green time would need to take away from another movement at this signal which may be difficult depending on the time-of-day. There are 6 different timing plans at this signal, so it is important to know the specific time-of-day that the problem is occurring so the signal operation can be monitored in the field and an adjustment made, if possible. Can you please provide a specific time of day for your observations?

Thank you for the reply/information.
After 6PM is primarily when I'm going through the intersection.
If there are more than 3 cars waiting to turn I have to continue on to the 149 light.
Honestly, I think a longer yellow would be safer. If there are 3 cars in line to turn after 6PM, that 3rd car is driving through a red light during most of the turn.
