TODAY'S QUESTION: Do you feel the flashing yellow left-hand turn arrows at multiple intersections of Stadium make the road safer or more dangerous for drivers?

On Tuesday, The Missouri Department of Transportation made significant changes to seven intersections on Stadium Boulevard from Maryland Avenue. to U.S. 63 Interchange. At these locations, the green light, which signaled drivers in the left hand turn lane to yield when entering the intersection, was replaced with a flashing yellow arrow.

The flashing yellow arrow indicates to drivers that they may cautiously make a left turn after assessing oncoming traffic and pedestrians. This change was intended to improve safety at the intersections. These arrows have already been in use in cities across the nation including St. Louis and Kansas City.

Do you feel the flashing yellow left-hand turn arrows make the road safer or more dangerous? Are drivers prepared to respond to this change in the rules of the road?
