Reply to comment by pillbinge in I'm so tired of the MA driving test by Dreamer_4200

My home town had an intersection that 24/7 the main road had a blinking yellow and the side road (a + not a T) had a blinking red.

Because the red is a stop sign, and the blinking yellow is to say "slow down and proceed with caution because there are people pulling out from the stop side of the street"

Yeah I know I'm just saying if OP never went through until it changed they'd still be sitting there today, like Charlie on the mbta

Since he knows it turns green my guess is it was a blinking left arrow. Are there any blinking yellows that aren’t arrows that turn green?

No such thing as a blinking yellow that turns green. Blinking yellow just usually means a crossroad where there is a stop sign on the roads perpendicular to the main road. A blinking yellow light will always be a blinking yellow light.

I can't tell you how many people don't know the difference between a red turn signal, blinking yellow light and blinking red light.

You CANNOT make a turn on a red turn signal under ANY circumstances. People behind me just honk like crazy.

Right, red turn signal is a flat out red light, equal to "no turn on red", solid red light. People should have to review some of this stuff every 20 years when they renew a license lol
