Yeah, I remember when the signage switched too. It seemed like a bad idea then, and still seems like a bad idea now.
The only reason I can think of switching the signs is that traffic coming in off of country hills must be getting backed up a lot. But really, 90% of those cars will be turning right at the intersection. They would only be stopped by cars travelling straight up the hill from the small set of houses at the bottom of the hill (that road only continues another block or so). Would that really cause such a jam?
Further to this, it just feels wrong to put the yield on the through road on a T. I'd think the city would have to have a real good reason to switch to something non-intuitive, but I just can't think of one.
