Q. What is your area of concern?
A. Other - Traffic Signals.
A. Other - Traffic Signals.
Q. Why is this a concern?
A. Signal is facing south but should be facing north. This is EXTREMELY dangerous as it appears to give northbound traffic a left arrow indicating traffic can safely turn left when in fact it is intended for traffic in the opposite direction. When this arrow is active, the southbound lanes have a green light so if anyone heading north turns left on the green arrow they will run into traffic heading south. Note that this happens all the time. I had to pick a specific time in the next question.
