Klompy,

I have to step out for a bit, but I'll be in Iowa for the next week, no doubt enjoying miserable weather alongside you.

Anyway, my experiences in the Quad Cities are the same as here - left turns yield on green, and when the light turns red cars that are already in the intersection have legal right to clear the intersection. Those that thrust themselves out to turn after the red are subject to very expensive fines and points on their license. I don't take that risk, I just get annoyed at the idiots.
