pop quiz
I've passed through this junction most weekday mornings for the last 18 months.
What you can't quite see in the photo is that the left-hand traffic signal has a green arrow indicating that you should proceed if you're turning left. Except it also has a red light, clearly not intended to convey information to people not turning left (since that's what the other visible signal is for) so what's the correct behaviour here? Note, when the lights are in this state, traffic coming from the right has a green signal for at least part of the cycle. So it can't be a carte blanche "GO", and we have a perfectly servicable flashing amber to indicate that you should proceed with caution (our local equivalent of "right turn on red", so to speak). So, WTF? WTFF?
