You mean I have to yield to oncoming traffic when I make a left turn?

Another confusing traffic intersection in Sioux Falls

The City of Sioux Falls Engineering Division will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, December 1, 2010, at the intersection of 60th Street North and Marion Road to explain a new type of left turn signal operation that will be installed in the city of Sioux Falls.

The new left turn signal operation will use a “flashing yellow arrow” instead of the “green ball” indication during the permissive left turn phase of operation. When the yellow flashing arrow is on, motorists can make a left turn after yielding to all oncoming traffic and pedestrians in the crosswalk. The new traffic signal at 60th Street and Marion Road, that will be turned on shortly, will be the first signal in Sioux Falls featuring this type of operation.
