Your opinion on changing conventions for non-protected left turn signals?

May 19th, 2009
So, I’m seeing a new trend in a couple of the cities around here (Texas). They’ve switched their traffic light conventions so that a flashing, yellow arrow indicates a non-protected left turn.
What I mean is, you’re in the left turn lane. The light changes to from red to flashing, yellow arrow. At the same time, oncoming traffic has a green circle to proceed and you must yield to them before making your turn.
More commonly this scenario where you have a non-protected left turn is indicated with a green circle instead.
What do you think? Good idea? Scary inconsistency? Doesn’t matter b/c you don’t look at the lights anyway?
