[Neighbors] Concern about the red turn arrow lights on Central in Nob Hill

[Susan Beard via Neighbors_nobhill-nm]

I am concerned about the extremely short light cycles for the red turn 
arrow lights on Central in Nob Hill. These lights stay green for an 
extremely short time allowing only 2-3 cars to turn left before the turn 
arrows turn back to red. I do not understand why given modern 
technology, the lights don't respond to the number of cars lined up to 
turn left or pulling into the short left turn lane. I have not been able 
to turn north on Carlisle from Central without waiting through long 
light cycles even though the turn arrow is green as I enter the turn 
lane or pull up behind another car waiting to turn left. I am not sure 
where to lodge a complaint, but this red turn- arrow issue is causing 
more Nob Hill congestion and more pollution from idling cars.  Susan Beard
