In Japan, right turns normally have lagging phasing; that is, the right green arrow comes on at the end. This does mean that both directions have green arrows at the same time, to prevent yellow trap. This is not always ideal, so in very rare instances, especially those approaches without dedicated turn lanes, a rare type of six-lens signal is used with all arrows lit to indicate an advanced right turn. The advanced right turn phasing ends with the green arrow disappearing for a brief moment, before all arrows are extinguished and a green orb is displayed. The phase then ends with a green right arrow for both directions.
