Here in the center of hell I call Tyler, TX they have installed flashing yellow arrow lights for left turn lanes. A couple of scenarios I've seen:
Red
Flashing yellow arrow
Red
Red
Flashing yellow arrow
Green circle
Yellow/Yellow flashing arrow
Red
Red
Flashing yellow arrow
Red
Green
Red
My take, and the common belief, is that the arrow means you have the explicit right-of-way and that yellow means the light is about to change to red so use caution. The problem is that the oncoming traffic has a green circle so they do not have to stop. There've already been several accidents and one death (someone from out of town) due to these asinine lights.
