In the interest of improved safety and efficiency, as a pilot project, a Flashing Yellow Arrow (FYA) for the left turns on various Duarte Road intersections have been installed. FYA allows waiting motorists to make a left-hand turn after yielding to oncoming traffic. It tends to be more eye-catching and is a constant reminder to the driver to use caution in yielding to oncoming traffic, as opposed to the solid green light. This new FYA operation will provide more efficiency for left turners with the permissive left turns allowed in the off-peak hours but could also be turned off during heavy pedestrian activity periods where there is a greater potential interaction with permissive left turners. Be on the lookout as the City plans to install more FYAs at traffic signals throughout town!
Flashing Yellow Arrow (FYA) locations for the left turns on Duarte Road are located at the following intersections:
- Duarte Road at Holly Avenue (E-W directions only)
- Duarte Road at First Avenue (E-W directions only)
