Most left turn collisions with oncoming traffic occur at green lights-
which are found in abundance in Florida! Few left-turn collisions
occur at blinking red arrows.
In Michigan and most NORTHERN states where traffic engineers seem to
display more intelligence and are quick to react to injury and death
statistics:
They know that a blinking red left-turn arrow (as well as a blinking
left-turn yellow arrow)is well understood by all drivers to mean:
oncoming traffic has the green light and does not stop!
Many Florida left turn lanes do not have their OWN left-turn COMPLETE
signal configuration. Florida left-turn signals are often combined
with the signal for the thru lane(s) which are to the right. The
result is a massive continuing epidemic of collisions with oncoming
traffic. It's time for Florida traffic engineers to WAKE UP and
standardize with the rest of the country!.
Left-turn carnage is EPIDEMIC in Florida!
The man in a position to correct all the left-turn carnage is:
Florida Dept of Transportation:
Ken Bass
ph (863) 519-2495 (Barlow, Fl)
Mt suggestion: Call him and:
Politely YELL BLOODY MURDER!
