ALABAMA (WPMI) You will soon see flashing yellow lights at intersections in Alabama. It's a new federal mandate that's being executed by Drive Safe Alabama and the Alabama Department of Transportation.

In a video posted to YouTube, Drive Safe Alabama says the new flashing yellow arrow means turns are permitted, but you must first yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, then turn with caution.

Research shows drivers make fewer mistakes with the new signals than with traditional left-turn arrow signals.

The four signal lights will have the following lights: red, green, solid yellow and a yellow arrow. The yellow arrow will flash with left turns are permitted to let drivers know to take caution.
