Don't think I've seen something similar to that anywhere else in the world!
A flashing red arrow would mean it's okay to turn left after coming to a stop, and making sure it is safe to do so. (like a stop sign) What's so confusing about that? I hate when you get a red arrow, that doesn't flash, when there are no oncoming cars and you have to sit there and wait.
