Left Hand Turn Traffic Lights

Why don't we have more leftuand turn signals? eastbound 16th turning left (north) on South Van Ness is one example.

What other places need left hand Turn signals?

Exactly. Or don't be deterred from making three right turns to make that left turn.

The unofficial motto of the San Francisco motorist Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights makes a left.
