Description
A car goes down Foothill Blvd and gets into the turn lane for a left turn onto Coolidge Ave. The light is green and cars are passing by. Then the light turns yellow. The driver assumes the opposite side traffic received the same signal and turns. Nope, the other side still has a green light! BAM! Accident.
I haven't seen any accidents yet, but there has been plenty of near misses for people who aren't familiar with this intersection. I made the same mistake when the new signals were first installed.

It's the worst intersection in town! And it's compounded by the nonsensical lights and turn lanes a few feet down at 34 ave and Foothill.
We live on lower Coolidge by Patten University and go out of our way to NOT drive down to the intersection of Foothill and Coolidge.
