      It’s about the Dutch-style bike intersection, specifically the first one built in Montreal. It sort of extends bike lanes through the intersection. Instead of bikes and cars mixing in the entire square area of the intersection, there are concrete curb islands inside each corner of the intersection separating car lanes from bike lanes. Turning cars have to go around the inside of the islands, which makes drivers slow down which adds safety. Bike lanes are on the outer sides of the islands which reduces the distance cyclists have to ride where they might intersect with a car since cyclists are protected by the islands for parts of the crossing through the intersection. There are other interesections that use the same idea, but apply it to pedestrians rather than bikes.

      Drivers complain that the design is a “labyrinth”. The video argues people will get used to it when there are more of these.

      Left turns are intended to be two-phase, like with unprotected left-turn boxes. First you ride straight across the intersection. Then you stop in a box in the perpendicular bike lane on the other side which is protected by one of those islands. The box provides space to turn left before stopping. Then when you get a green light for that direction you proceed.

      Some cyclists seem to be confused about how left turns are supposed to work. One cyclist merged into traffic before turning, performing the turn in the car lane. Another cyclist crossed both lanes of car traffic before the intersection, rode across the intersection in the bike lane, but going the wrong direction, and finally turned left into the bike lane on the other side.
