Question:

The left turn arrows should be at the beginning of the cycle for many lights. Too many cars are getting backed up when they can't turn on the flashing yellow lights.

Answer:

"The flashing yellow arrows turn to a solid green arrow at the end of the traffic signal phase if vehicles are still in the detection zone waiting to complete their left hand turn. A national study conducted for the Federal Highway Administration demonstrated that these types of signals help to prevent crashes, increase intersection capacity, and provide additional traffic management flexibility."
