The City of Wichita is implementing a new type of traffic signal in an effort to provide a safer, more efficient left turn for drivers. The city said Thursday that flashing yellow arrows will begin debuting on West Street at Walker and at Harry. At signalized intersections, the city said there is often a separate signal indicator to let drivers making a left turn know when they either have and are protected from opposing traffic, which is stopped. But in a permissive left turn, drivers can only turn when there is a safe gap in oncoming traffic, which has historically been conveyed to motorists by a circular green light.
