Flashing Yellow Arrows Reduce
Left Turn Vehicle Collisions

Within our City’s 509-mile street network, there are 213 signalized intersections, and 44 are equipped with Flashing Yellow Arrow (FYA) left-turn signals. Intersections equipped with an FYA have successfully reduced collisions where motorists attempting left turns collide with oncoming vehicles. When approaching an intersection with an FYA, drivers are permitted to make a left turn with caution after yielding to oncoming cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. After the FYA, drivers will see the better-known solid yellow left-turn arrow. The solid yellow left-turn arrow means that the signal is about to turn red, and drivers should prepare to stop.
