As far as I could tell the signs cannot be changed - that is they show a left turn arrow with a line through it and I do not think it can be made to show a right turn one with a line. Clearly that would be more flexible but undoubtedly more expensive. Now I think they are either off or on only and as noted above are currently only facing eastbound traffic.Another advantage to the flashing signs, presumably, is more flexibility in terms of lane/traffic restrictions.
So we currently don't allow left turns off of King during the rush hours and the hard/text signs indicate that. What if, say, we wanted to prevent people going south on all or one road during a special event? With the new signs we just program them into the no position and voila....you have it!
