The traffic signal at US27/SR19/Turnpike was checked January 3rd at 1430 for the possibility of allowing the northbound left from US27 and the southbound through to be displaying green lights at the same time. Creating this condition caused the signal to go to a conflict flash condition. We did not receive a report of this signal being in flash December 23rd.

  Good Morning,
  
  I would like to report a traffic light that in my opinion is not operating correctly. The traffic light is located at the intersection of hwy 19 and hwy 27 north about six miles north of Clermont FL.
  
  I made a left hand turn from HWY 27 North to HWY 19 West on a green arrow and was T boned by a car traveling south on HWY 27 on the morning of Dec 23, 2007 at 7:30AM. The morning was heavy with fog and visibility was limited to about 100feet. The driver of the other car claimed she had a green light with an unbiased witness.who confirmed she did. Myself and passanger both claimed there was a green arrow before we proceeded into the intersection. I realize that you can't have a north bound left turn green arrow and a south bound green light at the same time. I also understand electrical equipment and electronics being an electrical engineer and know that all electrical and mechanical devices are subject to failure or glitches, If the lights are out of sync or the programming is off or equipent has failed it should be checked before some one gets hurt worse then I did. Please feel free to call with your questions. Let me know the resulkts. Thank you.
  
  Regards,
  Ron Hansen
