The new left turn signals are installed at 26th SW and SW Roxbury but are not active yet. The intersection has been the scene of many accidents since it's not only a bus route but a primary route to Westwood Village shopping center.

The intersection of 26h SW and Roxbury street SW has been the scene of numerous motor vehicle incidents as people sometimes race to beat the light, or attempt to turn on to or off of Roxbury.
Both roads are also bus routes and 26th is a main road to get to Westwood Village shopping center.
That issue is finally being addressed with a left turn signal now installed there. Right now it's bagged but clearly, a left turn signal is being installed there. Westside Seattle contacted Chris Arkills, Transportation Policy Advisor to King County Executive Dow Constantine as to the signals status.
"This intersection’s signals are currently on hold pending Seattle City Light (SCL) vault relocation and an electrical cabinet foundation repair. There is no work currently scheduled in the next three weeks."
