The traffic light at the intersection of Naugatuck Ave. and Baldwin St. should have a left turn arrow for the north-bound traffic. There is a delayed green for south-bound traffic to allow north-bound traffic to turn left. However, without a left turn arrow for the north-bound traffic, it is not clear when the south-bound traffic’s light will change to green. A simple green arrow would indicate to drivers that they have the right-of-way to turn left. Once the south-bound traffic gets a green light, the arrow would turn off and vehicles would know that they must now wait for a break in the traffic to turn left.

Yes, I know it has been like that forever, but that is the whole point of this website – to identify areas that could use some attention to improve our communities. Knowing that you have an advanced green when traveling north-bound isn’t the issue. As you said, there is a sign telling drivers this. The problem is not knowing when that advance green ends and the oncoming traffic will start moving. The uncertainty could be completely illuminated by a simple green arrow.
Also, I don’t think traffic safety should rely on being a local and "knowing the deal."
