Why do that? Isn't "Left Turn Yield on Green" clear enough?

Apparently studies show that it somehow makes the intersection safer (after a year of people figuring it out) than traditional intersections.
Of course, none of this would be a problem if the morons would get off my road in the first place...

sometimes they use the arrow, sometimes they don't. it depends on the traffic congestion at the time.
but it stops people from waiting for people turning when there is little traffic.

Seattle is a pain to navigate because it was designed in the days before the standard NSEW street grid layout, and because two competing urban planners designed different portions of the city. It also doesn't help that it's situated on a narrow strip of land between two bodies of water.
I want to go back in time and punch them both in the testicles until they vomit.

I don't even pay attention to signs or lights, if it's clear I just go.
I've racked up $10,000 in fines but its a small price to pay to make a point.

Ah... Good to know, Jezza... (really, why do I need to know? Lol)
Besides, the damn trees in the intersections is actually not safe, lol... I almost ran down someone first time I went out and I didn't see that person until the last second.

For future reference, people don't say "do weed". People smoke weed, they don't do weed.

Is this in place for a red light or something?
In a normal intersection, if it's green, I still have to wait for traffic to clear before turning left. If it's red, then I just wait till it turns green.
Never seen one either way, so I guess it doesn't matter. Oh and I get right turns on red, so I hate going places where that's not legal. Angers me.

during high traffic times, they use the arrow as normal, to allow people to take a left safely. when there isn't any traffic, it doesn't make sense for people to sit around waiting for traffic to turn left, so they make it into a left turn yield on flashing yellow.

They do not make sense in theory, but in practice they aren't hard to figure out. The lights in WA that always seem to confuse drivers are the ones where the green arrow turns on but the red bulb above it stays on as well. Couple in my hometown, and I'd often end up waiting in a line behind someone who couldn't figure it out on the first try.

Never seen one before, I would probably just think its a normal yellow light and act accordingly.
Until it didn't turn read I guess....lol

They would if they start popping up.
Bad enough we have the people who don't realize they can turn left on green as long as it's safe, holding up the left turn late until they get honked at enough...I've never seen a flashing YELLOW arrow anywhere here unless it was on a school bus.
Flashing red or green either. Other than a school bus, or the > > > yellow arrows on warning signs in construction zones, a flashing yellow arrow in an intersection would confuse me.
*MOST* of the drivers here know that at an intersection with ONE left turn lane with a sign saying 'yield on green' know that you can turn left as long as oncoming traffic is clear.

I see where my confusion was before. I have yet to see more than a handful of dedicated left turn signals. The odd one I have come across in Toronto, but otherwise, nope. This means that as long as it's not a red light (for straight and turning traffic) you can always go if it's clear. No extra stupid useless signals (turn arrows only) at an intersection that obviously didn't need it in the first place.
How hard is it to see that there is a gap in traffic and you can turn left? No gap, no turn. Red light, no turn. I like the simplicity of our snowy cold ways, one set of lights per intersection, done. Tack on a green/yellow left turn arrow at busy places, and we're golden.
