The City of Danville is updating traffic signals at three intersections to include a new type of signal with a flashing yellow arrow for left turns. A national study shows these arrows create a safer, more efficient left-hand turn.

These turn signals are located at the following intersections:
* North Main Street at Franklin Turnpike (all four left turn lanes).
*Central Boulevard at Watson Street (northbound and southbound left turn lanes on Central Boulevard).
* North Main Street at Seminole Drive (northbound and southbound left turn lanes on North Main Street).

With the new flashing yellow arrow, the traffic signal heads for the left turn lanes at these intersections now consist of four signal indications:
* A solid red arrow means drivers wanting to turn left must stop.
* A solid yellow arrow means drivers turning left should prepare to stop because the signal is getting ready to turn red.
* A flashing yellow arrow means that drivers can turn left but MUST YIELD the right-of-way to oncoming traffic.
* A green arrow means that drivers can proceed to turn left because they DO have the right-of-way.
