18 Scottsdale Road and Ashler Hills Drive Ashler Hills Scottsdale Road Implemented FYLTA ALL Directions August 2012
19 Scottsdale and McCormick (S) Scottsdale Road Single SB Left Turn Implemented FYLTA in June 2011 McCormick Pkwy
20 Scottsdale and McCormick (South)
21 Scottsdale and McCormick Video
22 Pima Road FYLTA s Pima Road & Via De Ventura Implemented FYLTA for Spring Training March 2011 Pima Road & Salt River Talking Stick Pima Road & 7350 North (Pavilions) Pima Road & Indian Bend Road
23 Pima Road and 7350 North (Pavilions)
24 Pima Road FYLTA s Since FYLTA: 7 collisions in 28 Months (3.00 Per Year) Implemented FYLTA for Spring Training March Pima Road & Via De Ventura Pima Road & Salt River Talking Stick No Collisions 2011 Since FYLTA Pima Road & 7350 North (Pavilions) Pima Road & Indian Bend Road Since FYLTA: 4 collisions in 28 Months (1.71 Per Year)

27 Atlantic Cities Headline Flashing Yellow Turn Signal: Good for Drivers, Bad for Pedestrians.
28 ITE Western District Headline Flashing Yellow Turn Signal: Good for Drivers, Even Better for Pedestrians. See Chuck Huffine for more details
29 Scottsdale Road and Paradise Lane Paradise Lane Implemented FYLTA ALL Directions June 2012 Scottsdale Road
30 Frank Lloyd Wright and Cactus (N/S) Implemented FYLTA September 2011
31 Frank Lloyd Wright and Cactus (North)
32 Frank Lloyd Wright and Cactus (South)
33 Public Reaction Drivers recognized that FYLTA requires them to yield Number of citizen complaints of aggressive driving went down significantly Received some complaints from drivers who did not understand indication, when questioned they did the proper thing No Complaints removing Split-Phase Positive comments changing from Protected
34 FYLTA Trivia Question What sign needs to be installed for the FYLTA?
35 Lessons Learned No signs needed for FYLTA Implementation is easier with ASC 3 then it was with old 170 s which required numerous logic statements Phone calls increase with the installation, but when asked drivers always did what was required. Need to add an additional F head for through traffic since one is lost with FYLTA
36 Current Standard P/P Operation
37 FYLTA Lesson Learned
38 Recommended FYLTA
39 Conclusions Use of Flashing Yellow Left Turn Arrows has a positive impact on collision experience when used to replace Green Ball during permitted left turn phase. Growing number of agencies are adopting FYLTA as preferred indication for permitted left Need ADOT to add the four section arrow head to the standard nomenclature Scottsdale continues to be an innovator in Arizona Traffic Engineering

48 Flashing Yellow Arrow Background NCHRP Report 123 (2007) looked at numerous field installations of FYLTA Improved safety if intersection was P/P before install Safety not improved if Protected only before install No change in safety if Permitted only before install
49 Flashing Yellow Arrow Background NCHRP Report 493 (2003) looked at numerous displays for P/P left turn control Report recommended use of FYLTA based on high level of driver comprehension and versatility in signal phasing Driver who did not understand indication tended to yield Numerous requests to FHWA approved for experimentation between 2004 and 2006 FHWA Issued Interim Approval for use 3/20/06 FYLTA added to current version of MUTCD
50 Raintree - Northsight Investigated alternatives Split phasing Protected only phasing Synchro analysis showed that these would significant increase delay and congestion Implemented FYLTA for NB/SB in October 2008
51 Innovation Demonstration Project: Presentation today will include: History/Background of Flashing Yellow Left Turn Arrows (FYLTA) Update of FYLTA s in Scottsdale Lessons Learned Conclusions
52 Proposed New Signal Head Type P
53 Question 30: Q: Does the MUTCD now require agencies to provide a flashing yellow arrow indication for a left-turn movement for the permissive left-turn phase? A: No, this is not mandatory, but the flashing yellow arrow is now allowed in the 2009 MUTCD as an optional alternative display for PPLT or "permissive only" left turn movements (see Sections 4D.17 through 4D.20). NCHRP Report 493 describes the results of a comprehensive research project to evaluate the use of different permissive displays for protected-permissive mode left turns (PPLT), including the flashing yellow arrow (FYA). The research found that the most easily understood and most effective permissive display is the FYA in an all-arrows separate turn signal face for the left turn. An NCHRP follow-up study found that converting circular green permissive left-turn displays to flashing yellow arrow improved safety. Flashing yellow arrow displays are also now allowed for use with permissive right-turn movements (see Sections 4D.21 through 4D.24.)
