Since most channelized turn lanes are not under signal control (usually yield control), a channelized turn lane under signal control could be unexpected. If a blind pedestrian crossed the turn lane when the turn lane signal showed green for vehicles, a potentially dangerous confusion of priorities could result. Likewise, if a blind pedestrian waited and didn't cross while a vehicle in the turn lane was stopped for a red light, a potentially dangerous confusion of priorities could result. This increases the need for well-installed APS on the curb and on the island to provide appropriate information to pedestrians.
