  19. Well, in Manitoba, a flashing green light usually takes the place of
  20. a turning arrow.  When the light flashes, that means vehicles may make a
  21. left turn.  Another thing is, are they really accomplishing anything with
  22. making a flashing turning arrow instead of just a solid one?  Is a flashing
  23. light supposed to signify that this is a "short" turning light so get your
  24. ass in gear or what?
