Description
If you are traveling from the Gandy exit to turn left onto 94th avenue, when the light turns green, the light is still green for cars going straight on 94th avenue. I've seen cars almost hit each other and honk at each other thinking the other ran the light. Please and Thank you.

I was just about to report that same issue. It's very dangerous! The entire Gandy, 94th Ave N, 16th St area is a complete mess! I would like answers to the following questions:
Q. Why is there a double yellow line that cuts into the left hand turning lane from 16th St to 94th Ave N? What is the purpose? It backs up left hand turners into the right hand lane and blocks traffic coming out of the businesses from exiting onto 16th. They sit through long lights and can only get out if someone is kind enough to give them a break.
SOLUTION: Remove that double yellow line and open up that lane( just past the post office there is a red arrow. Many cars turn anyway. What is the policy? Also, why is there no turn on red at that location? There is no cross traffic at all there. The only way to go is right. There is no significance to this right turn restriction.
SOLUTION: Make this a continual green arrow.
Q. When turning right from Frontage Rd to 94th Ave N, the "no turn on red" sign lights up for a short time and then turns off. I'm not quite sure if that means it is Ok to turn on red when the sign is not lit or not?
SOLUTION: Keep it on all the time or turn it completely off and allow turns on red. Another thought is a blinking red light.
Q. Why are the red lights so long yet the turning lane lights so short?

"The light for the traffic traveling west on 94th Ave N is actually red when the exit ramp light is green, but 94th Ave N traffic has traveled beyond sight of their signal. They are effectively trapped between lights. I have referred this to FDOT and asked for a stop bar before the exit ramp."
