    I think I have...

    IIRC, I've seen it where the blinking yellow is usually in the left turn lane (and the green is for through traffic) - I think it's an improvement of the more common flashing red for left turns (instead of coming to a "stop" and then being able to turn left when there's no cross-traffic, this just allows you to turn without stopping when it's clear)...


    So in this situation, from what I gather, the Passat didn't yield to the car coming straight through the intersection before turning left...

    Yea, everyone runs through those flashing reds anyway on left turns.
