Default death dealing L. turn near Tampa, Fla

anyone ever seen an incomplete L. TURN signal?:

one with a green light; a yellow light- but no red light on the signal
after the
yellow because the red light is there, but DIS-CONNECTED !
43 serious injury (FlaDOT statistics)L. turn, head-on and side
collissions with oncomming traffic in Florida at this L. turn because
the Fla DOT disconnected the red light:
.. Palmetto, Fla. southbound on US 41 (left turn about 200yds past
(west) of the Walmart)

On a L. turn signal, once the green light comes on- the signal MUST
complete its cycle.( green to yellow to RED). After the red, if an
unprotected , permisable left turn (L. turn when oncoming traffic
clears) is desired: the left turn signal should go to a blinking
yellow light. It should not go from the yellow , directly to a green
light on ANOTHER SIGNAL for the thru lanes to the right.

This combining of signals for the left turn lane causes accidents.
There is no other way to explain the number of accidents at the above
intersection.

ASK THE SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD ABOUT THE ACCIDENTS AND NEAR-ACCIDENTS
SHE HAS SEEN RIGHT NEXT TO HER GUARD POST!

The do nothing idiots, who are aware of, and responsible for this
murderous left-turn signal and the resulting: pain, injury, lost
wages and
good times for the auto body business a
Ken Bass ph (863) 519-2495 (Bartow, Fl)
My suggestion: Call him and: Politely YELL BLOODY MURDER!
