As if our crazy new intersections weren't enough. From the Salt Lake Tribune:

Salt Lake City motorists have a new gig: traffic signal guinea pig.

In cooperation with the Utah Department of Transportation, the city is trying out a new left-turn signal. It gives drivers a flashing yellow arrow, which allows them to turn - if there's no oncoming traffic. The new traffic signals have four arrows in the left-turn lane, red, green, yellow and flashing yellow. The signals are part of a pilot project for the Federal Highway Administration.

The agency hopes the new turn arrows eliminate motorist confusion.

Uh, who was confused by the current traffic signals? Here is an animation of this accident waiting to happen.
