Here's a video that shows what it's like to bike through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox1g45ccoQ8

Bit annoying that bikes have to wait for two separate crossing signals to turn, but overall, it looks a lot safer.

Where I live they rarely wait for one, or even pay any attention to traffic signals at all, for that matter. They seem to have an issue with the whole “sharing the road means we have to follow the same rules, otherwise I have no idea what you’re going to do or when you’re going to do it, and that’s how accidents happen” concept.

Cool story bro

Thanks! I think I was mostly confused at first because I’ve never seen an intersection of two-way streets that requires cars to turn before
