Description
Currently you are able to turn left after yielding to traffic in the opposite direction. However, if there is a truck, SUV or mini-van in the opposite turning lane (turning from Forest Hill Avenue to Jahnke Rd) you can not see on-coming cars. Several times I have witnessed accidents that almost happened.

9/18/2013 - Richmond Traffic Mgmt (20020899925) noted in their closing comments, "We have the appropriate traffic signal phasing and signing at this intersection. At any intersection motorists must use caution when turning left across on-coming traffic. In this case there is an overhead regulatory sign near the traffic signal head for "left turns to Yield on the gree ball". Motorists must drive safely and obey traffic signs."
